  1. Use the XNResourceEditor.exe (the link you gave)
    On XNResourceEditor.exe file itself.
    On the bitmap and all kind of errors.
    Access violation ,Stream,Out of memory.
    I have a ver 3.0.0.1 (that works) that is much smaller then yours
    648k ,yours 1939k.
    I suspect it is older?
    As you said it is a mess.
    can you fix your version as it is the last ver?
    and notify us?

  2. shlomo abuisak I just tried it, didn't get any errors. What exactly did you do and what errors did you get?

  3. Just open file execute (XNResourceEditor.exe) with XNResourceEditor.exe.
    Window 7.
    Well now OK. may be because i opened the OLD
    3.0.0.1 and going back to 3.0.1
    If you can try on a FRESH COMPUTER ?
    In any case now it is ok.

  4. shlomo abuisak I hate it when bugs aren't reproducible. I opened the exe with itself and tried a lot of things. It's not possible to save, but that's no wonder, when the program is running. It doesn't give any error message though, that's a bug.
    Regarding the executable size: No idea why that is, maybe Colin used an executable packer? Or was compiling with runtime packages?
    The source is the last one I could find. I doubt that he improved on that later, since he released the source when he lost interest in Delphi.

    those are the zip i have
    xn_resourceeditor_3.0.0.1_source.zip
    d12componentpackages.zip
    [SRC]XNResourceEditor.7z
    If you need just tell me

    As for the bugs in days of assembler i thought usually
    to be software but often it was electronics.
    If we did not have bugs it was not our profession.

  7. I remember using it many years ago and it was buggy that I have to give it up, not sure if there are new versions.
