ResEdit

ResEdit, now in its latest version 1.6.6, is a powerful resource editor for Windows programs. Ideal for software developers, ResEdit allows you to create your resource script (.rc) with dialogs and menus and then export it directly as an executable using ResEdit.exe. Developed by ResEdit, this application offers the flexibility to use the generated script with your usual compiler as well.

One key feature is its capability to open .exe or .dll files, giving users the ability to directly translate the strings in dialogs, menus, and string tables. Furthermore, it supports the extraction of icons, bitmaps, or any resource from both 32-bit and 64-bit executables. This is particularly useful for those who regularly work with various resources embedded within executable files.

Despite its compact size of just 501 KB, ResEdit doesn't compromise on functionality. It is compatible with Windows XP, 7, and 8, making it a versatile choice for users with older operating systems. Those who have used earlier versions, such as 1.6, 1.4, or even 1.1, will find this latest version an improved yet familiar experience.

Classified under the Desktop category and more specifically within the Icons & Cursors subcategory, ResEdit stands out for its ease of use and practical features. What's more, users can download this resource editor for free, making it an accessible tool for all.

Pros:

• Compact file size of 501 KB
• Compatibility with a range of Windows OS (XP, 7, 8)
• Free to download
• Ability to edit and extract various resources from executable files
• Effective for both 32-bit and 64-bit executable files

Cons:

• Lacks support for newer Windows versions like 10 or 11
• Interface may seem outdated to some users

Overall, ResEdit 1.6.6 is an excellent tool for developers looking for a resource editor that's both powerful and lightweight.
