Resource Tools: 64-bit build
Posted: 30th August 2011 by Roman in Resource Tools, TechnologyTags: .rc, .res, automation, resource, tool, utility, x64
I rebuilt the Resource Tools utility in 64-bits to, supposedly, be able to be good with resources on 64-bit binaries (actually 32-bit code might be dealing with those fine also?).

Fixed: Failure accessing STRINGTABLE values with identifiers such that ((IDS & 0x0F) == 0x0F) New: Unicode build New: Static link to C runtime, smaller [...]

Here is [...]
