REMINDER: RESTRICTED RIGHTS FOR WRITING IN 'PROGRAM FILES' FOLDER

When evaluating the sample scripts on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, or higher, it's recommended not to install Resource Tuner Console into the default "Program Files (x86)" folder. Running the test scripts in the Program Files directory might lead to exceptions and 'Access denied' errors when saving resulting EXE files due to restricted access rights for writing in this directory.

If you do choose to install the program in the "Program Files" folder, you can work around this issue by modifying the destination path in the sample script to save processed files in a different directory outside of Program Files.

3 Program description
---------------------

 Resource Tuner Console is a tool that enables developers to automate 
 editing of resources in Windows 32 and 64-bit EXE or DLL files. This 
 command-line resource editor allows creating a repeatable process for 
 updating and customizing resources.

 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.
 
 Once you have written a script, you can reuse it over and over again. 
 This lets you perform many post-build steps to add, replace, or delete 
 icons and various string resources, such as Version Info, Manifest, 
 and StringTables.

 ResTuner Console combines a robust resource editor with intelligent 
 script capabilities. It's a great timesaver. It does not require manual 
 opening files. It is 1000 times faster than traditional resource editors 
 so you can get onto more important things!
