ResHacker.exe -extract then -modify error?

[electronixtar]

Hi DC,

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

Code

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.

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 porc.7z (55.9 KB)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.

Good news! The formats aren't all that different.
Expect a quickie converter in an hour or so.

Ok, that was the longest hour of my life

Anyways, here it is. rh2rc.exe (76.0 KB)
Usage: rh2rc.exe infile outfile

Has some basic error checking, and might have some bugs (it's the first version).
Give it a shot and reports any bugs you find please.
