Extracting images from a lib file - is it possible?

I've posted a new version of my custom window library here:
http://www.ionicwind.com/forums/index.php?topic=6133.msg45161

If I make a project compile into an exe file with images in a resource file I can extract them if they don't exist in the same folder as the running exe file, and the help file states "an exe" file.

But I can't seem to do this with a lib / include file - can this be done?

Thanks,
Andy.

Put your images in a dll file and
extract them from there and have the user distribute the dll with the exe they create.
or have your lib have an init program that does a one time extract all the images from the dll to a folder under the bin folder and use them from there.
