Making A Program That Creates A EXE file

How can I create a program that makes a separate executable file?

The executables are formatted, creating a Formatted file is easy when you have the contents ready with you. In case of executables, you need the code (I am assuming you are not asking how to create the code too...that would be writing whole compiler & linker), so if you have some exe to refer, you can make a copy of it and modify it to fit your requirements (like updating the resources such as icon, bitmap etc.) and there you get your own customized exe....

lets say I want to create a executable file that will work on any computer without my computer installed.

i want to have a slideshow program that contains several pictures and will display them but only be one executable file.

So you actually dont need to write a PE, you can simply have a template Exe, which shows the pictures from it's resource.... Now you can have another program to put pictures in this exe's resources as per the requirement....

One possibility would be to use self-extracting WinZip which auto-runs the application.
