Is it possible to add a .exe file into VisualStudio Project?

Hello there guys... This is my situation..

I have this .exe file (Dekaron.exe) which launches a game.

Now, I can easily create another .exe to execute Dekaron.exe ... By simply using System.Diagnostics.Process.Star("Dekaron.exe");

But, what I am trying to do is...

Take Dekaron.exe

Insert it into Visual Stidui Project (if possible)

Create a c# launcher which will execute that Dekaron.exe

I want Dekaron.exe to be inside the .exe I will create with Visual Studio...

There are many game cheaters, and if I can sort of PACK the dekaron.exe into my project(launcher) It will be harder for hackers to

debug the file with OllyDBG, etc.

Is this possible???

I know I can add an image file into my project as a resrouce, and the picture will be inside the .exe ...

Can I do the same with a .exe file??

Thanks Guys

Hello there guys... I have resolved the problem...

This resolved my problem:
But, now, I want to do a little more, how do I do this, as I set the exe file hidden?

OR, how can I run the file, from an specified path, from the memory, so it doesn't actually EXTRACT the dekaron.exe to the folder ?

If I can do the same thing with out ever extracting the .exe file to the folder, it'd be 100% what I need.

Thanks guys

exeProcess.WaitForExit();
