How to Embed an exe Inside Another exe as a Resource and Then Launch It

While working on a utility project today, I stumbled upon wanting to embed an executable inside another executable. Sounds fun doesn’t it? And what is even more fun is to be able to launch the embedded exe!

Basically, here’s how it works. You embed Foo.exe inside Bar.exe. And by embed I mean, add Foo.exe as a resource in Bar.exe and then, from Bar.exe’s code, you can launch Foo.exe using CreateProcess().

So before answering the "Why?" lets answer the "How?"

launch4j exec error

I was having a shit ton of problems getting launch4j to work. Simply get a recent version of MinGW's ld.exe and windres.exe files, and replace the ones in the bin folder. That seems to do the trick.

Another thing to try is using the DOS path instead of the standard Windows one when you refer to the directory containing JRE. Apparently, the tool doesn't support paths with spaces in them, although it is somewhat sporadic. I used cygpath to generate my path. The command I used is cygpath -wsa "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_20", which resulted in C:\PROGRA~2\Java\JRE18~1.0_2 as the DOS path.

A working XML config for launch4j is below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Neutering the “developer mode” screen on your Chromebook

I am the proud owner of two Chromebooks – one Samsung Series 3 ARM Chromebook and one Samsung 550 Chromebook. Like many serial tinkerers the frowny/sick developer “warning” screen, which you get if you want to overwrite the operating system having to enable developer mode, is more of a pain than anything, much as I recognise it is for security. Having to press CTRL + D at every boot, or wait 30 seconds and endure a loud, audible beep is not my idea of slick fun. Happily, it is possible to all but disable this screen, by rewriting the BIOS with the correct “flags”. This leaves the screen enabled, but it only displays for 2 seconds, and there is no beep. Unhappily, you have to physically open the Chromebook up and disable the inbuilt BIOS write protect to take advantage of this.

The procedure is a follows:

• Open Chromebook and enable/disable write protect jumpe

You got your hands on some data that was leaked from a social network and you want to help the poor people.

Luckily you know a government service to automatically block a list of credit cards.

The service is a little old school though and you have to upload a CSV file in the exact format. The upload fails if the CSV file contains invalid data.

The CSV files should have two columns, Name and Credit Card. Also, it must be named after the following pattern:

YYYYMMDD.csv.
