# Embed Assemblies

.NET Reactor takes the assemblies (listed in Additional Assemblies) and embeds them inside the Main Assembly.

Embedding dependencies inside the executable helps you to deploy and maintain your software as you can embed all dependencies into a single efficient executable file. At runtime, the embedded dependencies are directly loaded from memory and are not extracted to the hard drive.
