Library: Embed DLL in EXE
« on: April 23, 2025, 09:57:37 pm »
Here's a small wrapper which works in 64 bit Lazarus under Windows:
https://github.com/Xelitan/XelitanMem---embed-DLL-in-EXE

It allows you embed any number of DLLs into your EXE and use them without unpacking to disk. Supports gzip compression.

That can potentially be very useful.  I'll definitely try it out.

Thank you for sharing that.

Very old idea, but useful. A 32 bit version is available from https://www.delphibasics.info/home (About 25 years old to be exact.)
But it might be time to have a 64 bit version.

I guess the antivirus software will go nuts when it finds that something is unpacking an executable directly to RAM.

Indeed, it was not a very smart idea 25 years ago and it still is not.
