storing and executing .exe objects

[ConvertFromOldNGs]

I want to store a Macromedia Director .exe file in Jade and execute it.

Why? So that the .exe isn't visible on a CD and the execution of it is controlled by the Jade App.

Given that a .exe file is only an "object", how do I store it and then subsequently execute it?

I know how to execute it as a file from a Windows directory using app.createExternalProcess.

Any ideas ?

Thanks Clarrie

I'd just store it in a binary attribute (of maximum length) somewhere, then when you want to execute it, write it to a temporary place (say the TEMP directory) and execute it from there.
