Hi All,
I have a question. I need to load some EXE file into memory and then find a
way how to run it from the memory without saving to disk. I know that it was
possible in C++ to execute any code already loaded into memory. What about
C#? Does anybody know how to do that?
The main purpose - to download a small installer from my www and then using
this installer to download some big installer (like SETUP.EXE) and run it
without saving to a client disk. That's a requirement, the purpose is to
keep the client always up-to-date and don't allow him to keep old installer
files on the remote machine. The small installer should test the remote
application version and understand what version is running to stop it and
update if it's needed.
Thanks,
Dmitri.

Why not use Assembly.LoadFr om? It can load assemblies from the web: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...fromtopic1.asp

Dimitri,
AFAIK, This is not possible in C#. But, if this is a .NET application, you
may want to look into self-updating applications. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ml/updater.asp

Thanks for these answers. That's bad, but the main SETUP.EXE is written in
VB6 and my task is to write an installer. I can use C++ but I don't have a
ready code to download installer from a password protected FTP server. I
have this code written in C# and want to use it.

What about InstallShield's "Install From The Web" technology for the setup
packages and a background C# app to monitor and remove the local installer
files? Would that work?
Also, did you ever get that VB6 app upgraded and moved into C#? (I have a
good memory... lol)

Hi Kyril, What about InstallShield's "Install From The Web" technology for the setup

Did you see that for VB6?-)

Physically it wasn't my application. I gave some recommendations ..., and
that's all. It's still VB.s
(I have a good memory... lol)
That's a very good advantage...)

That might help :-) I know for a fact that you can use InstallShield for
VB6, but this might be even more suited to your needs.

You know, that is what I told my manager, and he said that it is different
in terms of pay. So I accept it. lol

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
