[Solved] Changing a resource at runtime?

Question

The API for modifying linked resources is accessed with BeginUpdateResource, UpdateResource and EndUpdateResource. Consult the API documentation on MSDN to learn how to use these functions, and also refer to the example code on MSDN.

Including large ZIP file resources in an executable, and frequently modifying them, seems to me like the sort of behaviour that would attract attention from anti-malware software. Don’t be too surprised if this causes problems.
