.exe-/.dll-files in c# launcher

[MindGames]

Hello there,
I’ve got a question about one of my projects. I don’t find any solution approach and i hope someone can help me.
This is the situation:
I have developed a program with c# and I have some other .exe files and .dll files which I want to use with the launcher (the actual program I made). The problem is that anyone can easily start the .exe files/.dll files, but I want that to happen only with the launcher, so you can’t have access to the .exe files without using the launcher. I just want to hide the actual .exe. You do not have access to them or better do cant find them!
It would be optimal if they aren’t deposited on the pc.

Thanks

You can't execute a file that isn't on the machine that's executing it. You could possibly embed them as resources in your own EXE and extract them, save them as files, run them and then delete them again when you're done. The problem with that is that many anti-malware programs will flag that as the sort of behaviour malicious software will engage in and block it.
