Hi I want execute a exe file from memory and not from disk, because i have contain of the exe file in a stream and in memory, if i want write the containt on disk other user can access it, i only want run it from memory. now i have the exe file in stream. i need any help for this work. some users help is that i make a hide file on disk and then execute it, but its childish. i need to execute it directly from RAM. if you dont understand what i need please read follow text, its another shape of my request: {**********} i have one exe in end of my exe. if you consider that first exe is A and second is B( that is attached to end of A). now if i want run A.it have not any problem, and i can easily run A. but if i want run B, i must extract it from A to harddisk and then run it. its bad for me and i dont want to extract it, because i need to user do not find it(B). and B must always be hide. i have not any problem for extracting B . the best way for me is that i run B from memory not from harddisk , and i want to know is it possible? if yes , how? for example if you consider that B is a picture that was attached to end of A . i can show picture without using harddisk: Var S:TFileStream; f:file of byte; begin S:=TFileStream.create; assignfile(f,extractfilename(application.exename)); reset(f); do while reach first of B // while not eof(f) do copy data from f to S // image1.loadfromstream(s); end. {**********}

@Evil Steve - I edited the link in your post to change the transport protocol from "https" to "http". "https" was prompting for accepting a certificate - for no good reason.

A loader is the only way to go. However I'd recommend against loading directly from memory - its just a lot of work. I'd convert your exe file into some kind of DLL and launch that from your base app.
Do it from disk too, unless you're a sadist
