Does anyone know how can I include a picture and a .wav file into my .exe file? ( C++ ) If i run the build PlaySound(TEXT("Audio.wav"), NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC); it will work well, but if a another person opens the .exe where the .wav file is not in the same direction the sound won`t play, how can i include the audio into the .exe?

Firstly, I suggest you could try to add the files to your project as resources, then you could try to use PlaySound function to use them.

I suggest you could refer to the thread:PlaySound works in Visual Studio but not in standalone exe

  • Yes, I added the .wav file to my project as a ressource, but it isn't included in the .exe, so the .wav file must be in the same directory to work. – Thomas Becker Apr 14 '21 at 17:44
  • @ThomasBecker Instead of adding it to the project reference, you add the embed code to .rc file, for example icon: `IDI_SMALL ICON "small.ico"`, you should add your line as: `IDI_WAV 256 "your.wav"`. – Drake Wu Apr 15 '21 at 03:40
