Using an ini file as a binary data element

[keokeo]

I am trying to embed the ini file where I store all the game data, but the problem is I can't seem to store anything on this file, so everytime I reboot the app all the data I saved the previous time is missing.

Is it actually possible to save to an ini file that has just been extracted then release it, and the next time I open the app the information to still be inside the ini file?

I am using ini++ and have set the default file in the properties at: BinFileTempName$("path+nameofmybindatafile")

Any ideas?

No, you can't do that. No Windows application modifies its own executable to save data - you're meant to use the application data folder or the registry instead.

Thank you for clearing that up Jamie, much appreciated.
