Hi,
I am trying to get all of my media to be included in my exe file. I have built a resource file using XN Resource editor and then added it to VC++ project however when i build the project it hasn't included the file Any idea how i can get this to work?

Thanks,
Alex

There are a couple threads about this already, namely this:

It does not explain about resource files. I googled it but it just comes up with tutorials for adding icons

Resource files are just the settings for menu buttons and icons. Actually packing data in your EXE is, as that thread I linked to mentioned, difficult without buying a tool to do so.

It seems that a packaging system is the best way to do this.

Has anyone tested Molebox? How well does it work?
