How do you create a program that generates a standalone exe file just like how CE generates a trainer? and how do i embed particular instructions on that generated exe file? A messagebox maybe is a good example. Say, a program that generates an exe file and when you run the generated exe file a messagebox will popup.

You could have an empty exe file and include that as a resource in your application. Then the application can extract the resource file, and make changes to it's code where nessecary. I don't know how CE does it but you might use hardcoded offsets in the exe which you can change.
For example an exe with a messagebox, with a certain text. Then you can hardcode the offset of this text from the start of the exe and change it when the application is running.

hmm zerith learn to take ideas for what they are..ideas.. whether good or bad at least he tried.. though you on the other hand just bitched about him trying.. your lack of time on the net researching coding shows ...but bleh enough said about that..

Run Time Code Generation (there are various incarnations of RTCG) and some of which ill go over briefly..

RTCG can be done alot of variouse ways one is generating Code to by run dynamically (on the spot) and the other is actually generating source code (compatible to compiler in a templated way)

also there area few projects out there that do this really well and provide good example on both sides (with there own variations of course) one of these is a Proxy Dll Generator that should provide sweet understanding to those trying to comprehend this subject

Considering CE is open source I can only reccomend that you go look at how it makes the trainers.

this is kinda too advanced thing. i guess i'm gonna have to set this aside for now and move on to a simpler project. Thanks by the way.
