Embed a file in application

[tlsarles]

There is an application already written that performs one of the functions I want my application to preform. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I would like to embed this exe in my application, and call it as a function basically. I attempted to decompile it, I'm only getting assembly. Anyone know if what I want to do is possible? (Windows platform)

What is the function you need? It may be present in some library.

I don't think it's going to work; the program is compiled and unless you can get the source code; AFAIK there's nothing that can be done, really. If you get the source code you could compile it as a dynamic-link-library...

kills all processes that are using a particular dll

Hmm... well some library may have something to do that... I'm not sure though.
