What im trying to do is compare 2 files against each other in binary (done that part) then with the differences, make an EXE to add/subtract them differences to another EXE. I just have no idea AT ALL about how to have my program write an EXE.

Any ideas? Or am i just wasting my time?

I don't think there is any realistic hope of being able to let a VB program write a new EXE... unless it's sort of a 'template' thing where you have to insert certain blocks of code etc all very complicated and requiring a lot of knowledge of Machine code...

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry

Oh well, thanks anyway:)

Why does your program need to write an executable anyway? Why not just use your VB EXE to do the task?

Well what im trying to make is a patch maker. It works by comparing two files (one that has been cracked, and one that hasnt). It finds teh differences and then makes an EXE to patch a file to have these differences. I hope its more clear what im trying to do now.
