How to inject a text resource into a prebuilt native EXE?

I have a native EXE (namely a setup.exe type of file). I'd like to inject into it a text resource, e.g. Server=X123456.

The purpose is that upon running the EXE, it would read the text resource and act accordingly. Is there a way to do this from C# code?

Note that there is a similar question, but it focused on injecting skins into a WPF app.

Windows has an API for updating resources in native executables. Check out the documentation for UpdateResource and friends.
