Launching a virtual file-based process

Having created a virtual file with an embedded exe, you can launch a process upon that file:

BoxedAppSDK_Init();

HMODULE hModule = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
HRSRC hResInfo = FindResource(hModule, _T("BIN1"), _T("BIN"));
HGLOBAL hResData = LoadResource(hModule, hResInfo);
LPVOID lpData = LockResource(hResData);
DWORD dwSize = SizeofResource(hModule, hResInfo);

HANDLE hFile = 
   BoxedAppSDK_CreateVirtualFile(
      _T("app1.exe"), 
      GENERIC_WRITE, 
      FILE_SHARE_READ, 
      NULL, 
      CREATE_NEW, 
      0, 
      NULL);

DWORD temp;
WriteFile(hFile, lpData, dwSize, &temp, NULL);

CloseHandle(hFile);

ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, _T("app1.exe"), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
