A General Purpose Tool by Heaventools Software

Resource Tuner Console addresses the challenge of managing and updating different resource types in 32- and 64-bit EXE or DLL files from the command line within a second. If you have to edit resources in multiple executables then you have probably dreamed of being able to automate this task and turn it into a quick job that is activated by just one click of the mouse. Our powerful Resource Tuner Console software does just that. And it makes it incredibly easy to do.

Resource Tuner Console is a tool that enables developers to automate editing of resources in Windows executables. This command-line resource editor allows using VBScript to create a repeatable process for updating and customizing resources during the final stage of the build process, or at any time you wish to make modifications of file version information on existing Windows EXE or DLL files without needing to recompile the source code.

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 lets you edit strings in multiple languages, swap icons and XML manifests, update version information for several hundred files at once, and more. Sample scripts illustrated the main features can be found within the Resource Tuner Console package.

Resource Tuner Console can handle a variety of different 32-bit PE ("portable executable") file types, including .EXE, .DLL, .SCR, .CPL, Device Drivers (.SYS), OCX Controls, and Borland Libraries (.dpl and .bpl).

Resource Tuner Console allows you to:

- Add, edit, rename, replace, or delete string resources in executables
- Add and/or replace an icon resource with an icon from an ico file
- Add and/or replace an application manifest resource with a manifest from an XML file
- Add, delete, or update file version information
- Modify the language for all of the resources in the files to one uniform value
- Convert a multi-lingual resource directory into a single-language one
- Convert a single-language resource directory into a multi-lingual one
- Create a copy of the resource with another specified language
- Provide support for multi-byte international character sets
- Export and save an entire file's resources as a resource DLL

Resource Tuner Console fully supports Unicode. It allows you to edit strings in and work in multiple languages. No more struggling with OEM/ANSI code pages! Make your applications and data operable and accessible in different languages! Write all the strings to be replaced in a unicode text file and replace them with just one click.

Application developers often need a command-line utility to allow modification of file version information on existing Windows EXE or DLL files. While these files already contain a Version Info resource (embedded into the executable during linking), Resource Tuner Console enables you to automatically stamp their version during the final stage of the build process. If these files contain no Version Info resource, Resource Tuner Console will create this resource for you.

System Requirements

Resource Tuner Console runs on All Windows (95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP SP2/2003/Vista).
