Hi All,

I am facing a problem in adding resources at run time. The old resources are getting deleted automatically.
The sequence is as follow:
1. Reading the binary contents of a file.
2. Trying to add to resources section of another executable.
3. The resources are being added as "BIN1" -> "IDR_SAMPLEBIN1" and so on.
4. After some steps, the previously added resources are getting deleted.
5. At the end of 8 cycles, i expect resources "BIN1" through "BIN8" but i found only 2 or 3 of them.

I could not understand what could be wrong.
I am using BeginUpdateResource(), UpdateResource() and EndUpdateResource() for the same.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Kishor Reddy

From the standpoint of the reader of this your post, you don't do anything wrong. You are just not doing anything. If you do, you don't show it. How anyone is supposed to help you?

You should have edited your original question, instead of re-posting, which is considered as abuse.
