Hi,

If you mean Qt's resource system, then no, it's embedded in your application. It's read-only.

Is another way to storage files in application EXE file ?

@R4leY Why do you want to change your exe file at runtime?!
This is very unusual and will trigger anti-virus software, which will block your software and put it in quarantine.
If you want to store some files then why not do it as it is supposed to be done: store them in the file system?

i just want make a installator maker in qt . I stoped on "How to storage files in installator EXE fille?". That's why i get idea about resource folder in qt. Have you any idea how can i do it ? I don't have ideas.
