Join Dlls and Exes into one Exe?

Hello,
Is there a free program out there that joins Dot Net Dlls and an Exe
together into one Exe? I'd rather distribute my program as a single
Exe.

Thanks,

Hi,

Maybe there are programs like that, but you can also do something like it,
just add the dlls as embedded resources. then at runtime you can create the
dlls back in the folder of your program.

Of course, you can also create an installer (that is a single .msi file) and
it will unpack all your needed files :)
