Question

Programming

Hello World! The question has already been raised, if that task is not tied to a specific language.

Answer 1

To understand what the exe format is, it is actually a container that stores both executable code and data in the form of icons, dialogs, and so on.

Write your own collector and save the data in .exe
At the same time, it will be impossible to run it if there is ONLY data there.

Answer 2

No way.

Answer 3

Archiver + self-extraction function?)

Answer 4

How to make a program that will compile data to exe?

It's impossible.
Files with the .exe extension are simply a specific file format.
And compilation is already completely different - it is the creation of machine code from the source codes of the program, and has nothing to do with this format.
And write the data to a file without problems - the file format allows you to store any data, there is only a size limit.
