resource file in VB.NET

How can I use a .exe file in my resources folder? I want to copy the file in the resource folder to another folder.

tried this

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    If (Directory.Exists("Files")) Then
    Else
    End If
    Directory.CreateDirectory("Files")

    Dim FileToCopy As String
    Dim NewCopy As String

    FileToCopy = My.Resources.THEFILEIWANT <- only this part doesn't work
    NewCopy = "Files\THEFILEIWANT.exe"

    If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToCopy) = True Then
        System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy)
    End If
End Sub

This is needed so when ther file doesn't exists the file gets created/copied.

Does anyone knows how I can call the file from the reso开发者_StackOverflowurce folder?

Tried this ` Dim writePermission As FileIOPermission writePermission = New FileIOPermission(FileIOPermissionAccess.Write)

    If (SecurityManager.IsGranted(writePermission)) Then

        My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes("Files", My.Resources.unscrambler, False)
    End If`

But I'm getting a invalid permission error.

I am still a beginner but I could suggest using a packer, such as the one included with CodePlex's Confuser. It packs multiple assemblies into one (as do all packers), and obviously, Confuser offers obfuscation, and is Free.

*One warning!* Packers have been known to raise alerts in Anti-virus software, so check your app with different AV software.

Hope this info is useful. :)
