I rebuilt the Resource Tools<\/a> 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?). Anyway, the build is here and the tool available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.<\/p>\n

In particular, both 32-bit and 64-bit JavaScript scripts hosted by Windows Scripting Host<\/a> (respectively, 32-bit from C:\\Windows\\syswow64 or 64-bit from C:\\Windows\\system32 – in 64-bit Windows) can leverage the tool in file manipulation.<\/p>\n

This utility is specifically helpful in automating steps which involve resource updates, such as to apply OEM branding, or resource-based file operations. The code snippet below archives a copy of DLL and PDB files for published release into a .7z archive named using current file version of the DLL itself (that is, it created a ResourceTools.dll-1.0.6.296.7z<\/em> archive file out of ResourceTools.dll<\/em> and corresponding ResourceTools.pdb<\/em> files):<\/p>\n
