Hi DC,

I am writing a script to modify chrome.dll using Resource Hacker, here's the script:

--- ---ResHack.exe -extract chrome.dll, test.rc, 9,101,
ResHack.exe -modify  chrome.dll, chromenew.dll, test.rc, 9,101,
The log says

ResHack.exe -modify  chrome.dll, chromenew.dll, test.rc, 9,101,
Error: Invalid resource type.
--- End quote ---

Anybody know why?

BTW, any free commandline tools for extract and modify PE's resources?

Hello!
As far as I know, ResHacker does NOT support importing .rc files.
You can try this free nifty tool by XPero to make a ResHacker script, or compile the RC file to a RES file (and then use reshacker to modify it), using for example, the free Pelles Resource Compiler
(Attached here [attachimg=1 ][/attachimg]or can be grabbed from the Pelles C Compiler website])

Have fun reshacking!

Thank you scancode. Your tool is very helpful.

Too bad ResHacker does not support .rc import, another issue is ResHacker.exe -extract does not produce standard .rc files, it's ResHacker's own special format with extesion name .rc. I think I need another tool for correcet .rc exporting.

Would you be interested in a reshacker -> rc converter?

Yes please provide a small and convenient one. I need it in one of my auto modify scripts.
