Linker error

Post by creator »

I get the following error when I try to relink resources to a exe that I am working on.

Linker error (5): RVA mismatch in execcutable file!.

Any ideas.

Do you mean that you was able to extract resources first from this executable? Because this error means that executable has RVA table inconsistency.

Sorry,

Yes, I was able to extract the resources without a issue.

Next I just tried to relink the extracted "unmodified" resources. (My first step before I spend time modifiying resources).

This step is where I get the linker error.


BTW: I do not have this problem on other exe's that I modify.

Maybe it has some type of wrapper around the exe that I am missing......I "don't" think so because I can attach to it and step thru it.

There is another program that is also apart of this suite.....and it is a wrapped/packed exe......so maybe that is the problem.

I will send you either file if you wish.

Thanks,

Please send us the exe file for testing, but it looks like it was packed (may be protected somehow) and this is why extraction works but linking back fail.
Thank you.
