Running .exe from within

[cgsodar]

I am using visual c++ 2012.
I want to run a .exe from resources using some parameters, and I get the following error:

Error 1 error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x258

I have added mspaint.exe to the resources and changed the item type from "Does not participate in build" to "Resource"

What am I doing wrong?

example code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h>


int main()
{
	system("mspaint.exe -someoption");	
	return 0;
}
