Your trouble has better easy solution if you have Delhi 4 or above

At the menu Project->Resources open the Project resources.
RightClick the mouse and add a new type "RT_RCDATA"
After this select the file to incorporate inside you application.
You can repeat this to other file, the default name is RT_RCDATA_1.

Put the follow code to extract the resource file


function TMainFrm.XtractRes( DestFile : string ) : boolean;
var
  ZipRes : TResourceStream;
begin
  Result:=False;
  try
    ZipRes:=TResourceStream.Create( System.MainInstance, 'RT_RCDATA_1',                   'RT_RCDATA');
      try
                  ZipRes.SaveToFile( DestFile );
                except
        on E : exception do begin
              DeleteFile( DestFile );
              MessageDlg( 'I get the error: '#13 + E.Message, mtError, [mbOK], 0);
      end;
      end;
      ZipRes.Free;
      except
                     Result:=False;
                     Exit;
      end;
       Result:=True;
end;
