VB.net EXE get appended data

Vote count:

0

I wan't to append and read data from an EXE File.

The Flow is like:

1. My Main App appendes some data to an existing EXE File.


2. The new EXE gets started by a User


3. it reads the appended data and works with it


4. Creates a file with the processed data.

Here I'm asking about Point 3! Im going to apend my data by opening the EXE in Binary mode and add 10times ASIC Code 0 to it followed by my data.

How can I read that data now? Ist a bit like a self extracting Archiv, but I haven't found a Resource about how they work.

Can I access the data directly or do I have to open it as a binary Stream again?
