Maybe a command (such as CatchApp) could be added so we can embed executables and execute them from our own program without having to extract them to disk first and using RunProgram on them? My idea is that CatchApp would do a RunProgram on the embedded application, if you know what I mean?

Hi,

I believe, the most antivirus softwares would detect an embeded binary as virus.
And this ist in my opinion the sole purpose for embeding binaries.

Hi, embedding binaries is not always for viruses. There are many reasons to run an embedded binary. To run my own binaries for example, instead of having lots of binaries to distribute with my program. Other people embed "Blat", an email sender, to send emails from their program. So you see its not always a virus thing.

Transparency in software is evertime honorable. The user will be thankful.
What is the problem to start binaries directly from disk?

But.... it is your wish. ^^
