My project can copy a dll as resource in a directory, maybe this wil work for you:

File.WriteAllBytes(@"C:\filename.extension", Properties.Resources.install);

File.Copy(@"Resources\install.bat", @"C:\directory\install.bat");

note: you should have Resources folder in Debug\bin. (if there isn't one, click on property of install.bat file in Visual Studio solution exprorer and set 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Copy always'
