strcpy( exefile ,(AnsiString(tmppath)+
AnsiString("\\jhead.exe") ).c_str() ) ; //under same folder using \\
ret = GetFileAttributes( exefile ) ;
if( ret == 0xffffffff )
{ //not exist, save jhead.exe
TResourceStream &rs = *new TResourceStream( (int)Hinstance, AnsiString("E11"),"EXEFILE" ) ;
rs.SaveToFile( AnsiString(exefile) ) ;
