is this a Resource Hacker kind of thing ?
Also, can you specifically target files using the Window's finder like:
This is what I currently use to launch a QT movie in Windows...
The below will open the file name Fonovisa.qtl in the user's 'My
Documents' folder:
!define FILENAME "Fonovisa"
!define InstallDir "$DOCUMENTS\$FILENAME"
ExecShell "open" '"${InstallDir}\${FILENAME}.qtl"'
Could I change the Install Directory to something like:
Fonovisa.exe\Resources\myXML.xml

is there some kind of PC equivalent to creating an application bundle

being able to access files within the your application bundle makes
everything so portable :)
is this possible on the PC ?
Sort of. There's no direct equivalent to packages on Windows, that
is, the this-is-really-a-folder-but-it-looks-like-a-file thing.
However, Windows executables can have additional resources "baked in"
as it were, so you still only have to look at one file. It's pretty
much the same concept of Mac OS's Resource Manager, only without using
multiple file forks and without as many annoying restrictions on data
size.
That said, Windows culture does not forbid having lots of ancillary
files near the application, nor does it expect applications to be
movable once they're installed. Not that either wouldn't be
desirable, they're just not expected.
