Ok, here''s the scenario. I''m trying to load and archive of EXE files from a single file. I don''t want to extract every single one and execute it as a separate file. Instead I loaded the data of each EXE file into a buffer. Is there anyway to execute the buffer or can I use a thread to execute that code after I read the EXE file''s header. What should I do?

I doubt there is any other way but to extract the file to the harddisk first... you could delete it afterwards again though. (thats how programs like winzip do it)

Technically, you could load code to execute like this:

void (*func)();
char *buffer;
// Load code into buffer
func = buffer;
func();

I wouldn''t recommend it, though.
