You cannot "embed" an EXE within your vb application in this way. The closest you can do is make use of com, and the exe needs to already be installed on the client machine (At least part of it)
What app are you trying to run?
You could investigate "ShellExecute" api function - that will run an app based on the users file association preferences (ie. Shellexecute "mything.doc" will run word)

Does that help?
