EXE linking breaking the EXE

Post by kapouel »

Hi, I am currently evaluating your product for my company. We would be extremely interrested in buying your product if the feature of modifiying ressources of an existing EXE worked as advertised.

I know that this feature is disabled in the UI, but thru command-line, i can acess all the required functionality.

It all seem to work, i can modify the ressources without any problem, but when i try to execute the modified EXE, it crashes.

Is this normal since i am using the evaluation version?

thanks

I can't be sure about correct answer, but I suggest you to make small experiment. Since there are can be internal protection in app agains binaries modification, it is good idea to try same things for "open" application (100% protection-free, like MS Paint).

I am doing this modification on one of our product and it is not protected
against binary modification

our App is built with delphi 6 btw
