I am aware that there are utilities that merge two files for you, but I am not looking for such utilites. What I am looking to do is merge two files together into, for example, temp.exe. Then when temp.exe is run it creates those two files and runs one of them. This shouldn't be too hard right, but I am a begginner in c++. I tried google for some source code but most source code I found was in visual basic. The one I found in c++ was too complicated because it had GUI interface and other extras. Does anyone have any simple c++ source code I could look at or can anyone help me out on how to do this. Sorry, I have only very basic knowledge in c++.

You could always use WinRAR and make an sfx module... I mean it is pretty easy.
