Add folder to resources of C# application and merge to single exe

Question

All i need is copy folder from my c# exe to user directory .i cannot have folder separate from exe.i can have only one exe.Is there anyway to marge a folder inside my c# exe file.so then i can paste it to user directory when execute it.but i cannot use a installer setup .i can have only single exe and it should paste a folder which is inside of exe to the user directory.

Maybe embed the files as a resource in the EXE, and read them as a stream, or uncompress them to the target directory when the program loads? — Mike Christensen, Sep 02 '14 at 17:15

Make it simple.

Add files to the project as embedded resources
Create a folder from your application
Extract resource files and save them to that folder

You can follow this answer on stackoverflow to help in extracting embedded files and save them.
