Known Limitations:

Issue 1:

Resource Hacker™ will not read resources in 16-bit executables.

Issue 2:

Resource Hacker™ has been compiled using Delphi™ ver 3.02.

When decompiling and recompiling Borland’s Delphi forms in applications compiled with later versions of Delphi, there will be errors in the recompiled application if frames have been used to create the form. This error is due to the inline DFM keyword not being recognized. While decompiling, the inline keyword will be replaced by object and, if manually corrected before recompiling, inline will be rejected by the Resource Hacker™ compiler.

Issue 3:

A number of applications have been compressed with an “EXE compressor” (or “packer”) after they have been compiled to reduce the size of a program. This has a side-effect of making it more difficult to view and modify resources. When a “compressed” executable is viewed with Resource Hacker™, only resource types and names will be visible but not the actual resources.

This is not viewed as a bug. The application developer may well have viewed this as beneficial feature so no “fix” is planned.
