Simply do on a command prompt or in a batch file:

ChangeRes Project.res [VERSIONINFO] FileVersion=1.2.3.4

Great for components, just append the RES using Resource Workshop to your own Package Resource or other, that way you wont need the DFM anymore.

Designed for inspection and editing of Windows executable files, PE Explorer offers framework for working with EXE, DLL, ActiveX controls, and other executable file formats that run on MS Windows 32-bit platforms. Once inside, target 32-bit file structure can be analyzed and optimized, problems diagnosed, changes made and resources repaired, assembly source code reconstructed. PE Explorer also comes with a Visual Resource Editor, PE Header Viewer, Disassembler, UPX Unpacker, Exported / Imported Function Viewer, Syntax Lookup, Digital Signature Viewer, Dependency Scanner, and DebugInfo / Relocations Removal Tools.

• See what's inside an executable
• Customize GUI elements of your favorite Windows programs
• Track down what a program accesses and which DLLs are called
• Understand the way a program works and interacts
• Special support for Delphi applications
• Automatic UPX, Upack and NsPack unpacking.

• You can start your compiler (brcc32) direct from RFE.
• You can import versioninfos from binary files (exe, dll).
• Preview-function for bmp, ico, cur, ani, avi, jpeg.

Editing data (for example, images) is realized with the use of programs installed on the computer rather than using internal means. It is useful for localization of programs thanks to built-in capabilities of automatic translation into different languages. Program is not able to directly edit resources (in executable files and RES files), but stores them in files in its own format.

It can generate:

• Resource file (*.res or *.rc).
• Autonomous source code file (in Pascal or C++ language).
• INI file (*.ini).

With Resource Builder you can create, edit, compile and merge RC scripts to build new resource files (.res) fast. Import resources from existing WIN32 executables and 32-bit/16-bit resource files (RES, DCR). Extract, update and modify any resources in 32-bit executables (EXE files) and libraries (DLL and other files). Edit images and create dialog windows with Visual Dialog Builder. Save any resource item from your RC script to a specified file.

Resource Builder supports JPEGs and can perform graphics conversion to and from BMP, CUR and ICO files. You can also adjust image sizes and quality to get the results you want. Since the program supports DFM (Delphi forms), you can view and edit Delphi's and C++Builder's forms in simple text format. This feature is especially valuable because Resource Builder comes with own text editor that supports syntax highlighting and search-and-replace function. Resource Builder is very well equipped and comes with editors for bitmap, icons, cursors, string table, menu, accelerators, dialogs and version info. HTML and XML support makes Resource Builder a natural choice for any project that might involve web integration.

Finally, the program also allows updating resources in existing executable modules. Plus, files can be compiled both with console or command line, which is great for bulk processing. Conveniently, files can be added by dragging and dropping or with Windows clipboard.

• program is exploration of program modules created in Delphi (exe, dll, bpl, dpl);
• Packages register/unregister;
• review of BITMAP, ICON, CURSOR, VERSION, STRING, RCDATA resources with relevant viewers, composition of which is defined automatically;
• to save resources as file (bmp, dfm, etc.) or as RC-file;
• capture into clipboard is possible;
• scaling BMP, ICON, CURSOR;
• text representation of Delphi-forms + Syntax Highlight + tree of components with autonavigation over the text;
• review of Delphi-resources (RCDATA) as ScreenForm;
• review of "half-dead" forms (as runtime);
• change of the forms behavior (dead, live);
• ObjectInspector for forms;
• Package info analysis.

Viewing Resources: Cursor, Icon, Bitmap, GIF, AVI, and JPG resource images can be viewed. WAV and MIDI audio resources can be played. Menus, Dialogs, MessageTables, StringTables, Accelerators, Delphi Forms, and VersionInfo resources can be viewed as decompiled resource scripts. Menus and Dialogs can also be viewed as they would appear in a running application.

Saving Resources: Resources can be saved as image files (*.ico, *.bmp etc), as script files (*.rc), as binary resource files (*.res), or as untyped binary files (*.bin).

Modifying Resources: Resources can be modified by replacing the resource with a resource located in another file (*.ico, *.bmp, *.res etc) or by using the internal resource script compiler (for menus, dialogs etc). Dialog controls can also be visually moved and/or resized by clicking and dragging the respective dialog controls prior to recompiling with the internal compiler.

Adding Resources: Resources can be added to an application by copying them from external resource files (*.res).

Deleting Resources: Most compilers add resources into applications which are never used by the application. Removing unused resources can reduce an application's size.

Resource Tuner reads and lets you edit .xml manifest, embedded in XP executables. And using the XP Visual Style Manifest Wizard, you can allow your legacy application to take advantage of the slick new look. This tweaking tool enables you to view and edit almost anything about a compiled Windows program, from the menus to the dialog boxes to the icons, etc.

On top of all that, this program has one of the best UPX Unpackers built in. Resource Tuner ships with the UPX Unpacker, a start-up processing plug-in for unpacking files compressed with UPX. Now you can open files compressed with UPX even without knowing that: your file will be unpacked automatically. Power users will also appreciate the plug-in API.

The program is well suited for integrating into your build system, and takes the drudgery out of manual editing and repetitive tasks. All the functionality of Resource Tuner Console is called from within your VBScript. Resource Tuner Console fully supports Unicode and allows editing strings in multiple languages, swapping icons, updating XML manifests and version information for several hundred files at once, and more.

Do you have to prepare multiple branded OEM versions of your software? Do you have to build a custom EXE file for each of your OEM partner? Then you simply can't afford to not be using this software.

• Create a repeatable process for customizing resources
• Process multiple executables at once
• Add, delete, or update file version information
• Add or replace XP and Vista icons in a number of files from .ICO and .PNG files
• Add, edit, replace, or delete string resources in executables using VBScript
• Do Unicode
• Create multi-lingual resource directories.

Restorator allows modifying, adding, and removing resources such as text, images, icons, sounds, videos, dialogs and menus in almost all applications.

Restorator is used for translation, customization, design improvement and development.

This resource editor comes with an intuitive user-interface, complete documentation with many examples and prompt user support via email.

With Restorator you can

• Translate existing applications (localization)
• Customize the look and feel of programs
• Replace logos and icons (branding)
• Enhance control over resource files in software development
• Hack into the inner workings of applications on your computer
• and much more.

Furthermore, you can create small self-executing patch-programs, that redo the modifications to a program. You can distribute these ResPatchers freely.

The program will use this information to generate an *.RC file defining the STRINGTABLE resource as well as and *.INC file containing the declarations and value assignments for the associated constant identifiers. Then you simply compile the .RC file with BRC.EXE or BRC32.EXE (included with Delphi), and include (using the {$i } compiler directive) the .INC file in units that will read the STRINGTABLE. Then when your application needs a string you invoke the Delphi LoadStr() function, supplying the appropriate constant identifier.

Includes both 16-bit (Windows 3.1 compatible) and 32-bit (handles strings longer than 255 characters in Windows 95) versions.

You can also change the fields of the PE header and save it back to the file. This program also lets you view the section body in HEX.

It is just a GUI tool that makes viewing the PE header and MZ enjoyable.

Resource Explorer however does not allow you to edit the resources in these files - this would be breaking copyright law in most cases.
