Encrypting file as .exe

[nrylm25]

I am trying to develop an encryption program that enables user to decrypt files without installing the program to computer.

I asked and people give me this answer: We need to encrypt files as .exe, I mean we need to write a binder code that makes two files(.exe and encrypted file) as one file.

How can I write a code that does this? Is there any sample code?

I think, it should be like self extractor. In the market, there are encryption programs that has this option: Encryp to exe.

PGP Desktop will do this.

I wouldn't recommend doing it on your own, since your encryption algorithm will probably be very poor and prone to errors and vulnerable to attack.

Thank you for your answer...

But I need something that I can add to my code and work together with the code. So when I encrypt a file, the result will be exe.

There is an encryption program called File Encryption XP that has this facility. I want like this.

I don't see what the difference is between an application like File Encryption XP and an application like PGP Desktop. They both are applications that do encryption.

If you want an encryption library then you need to look at something else, not applications.
