Windows .RES/Resource editors
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/11/07
While researching the manifest problem I will post about next week, I made a short list of free Windows Resource Editors:
- ResEdit Resource Editor – free resource editor for Win32.
- Resource Editor | MelanderBlog.
(the download there is broken, but you can find it using Google; not maintained since 20110910). - Resource Hacker.
(not maintained since 20110916). - XN Resource Editor.
(not maintained since late 2005) - There is also ResEd – theunknownones – Short description of the ResEd Tool – All the things we develop and want to share with you – Google Project Hosting.
But it requires Delphi to run (it integrates as a BPL file).
All other resource editors I found were not free, and someof them not maintained for an even longer period than the free ones.

Thanks a lot for the additions.

The download isn’t broken. The site just doesn’t allow direct links to the downloads.
Try this instead: http://melander.dk/reseditor/#download
