How to Execute a .exe file stored in jar file ?

[Sam Zou]

Hi,

I wonder if this is possible.
I have a .exe file that have to be execute by my java application.
I'd like to store that .exe file in the jar file of the application.

How can I execute that .exe file from the java application ?


Thanks

Sam,
You need to unzip the jar file before running the program. You can have a java program take care of both steps through Runtime.exec().
