The purpose of the app "Resource Hacker" for Windows is to allow users to view, modify, add, and delete resources in 32-bit Windows executable files and resource files.
I need to change the "Version Info" and can easily do so with the GUI interface, but would like to automate this as part of my build process using the command-line interface. It provides samples for changing icons and bitmaps, which I have gotten to work, but I'd like to be able to change specific values in the following:
I checked the product page and indeed the software supports command-line syntax as well as scripts to automate the changing of various resources. As you can see below, those are the available commands that can be passed to the cmd syntax:

If you want to change the Welcome text when Windows 7 loads, you will need to open a Command prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and type : takeown /F c:\Windows\System32\en-US\winload.exe.mui followed by icacls c:\Windows\System32\en-US\winload.exe.mui /grant administrators:F Then go to System32\en-US directory and copy the file to your desktop.
Open Resource Hacker and load the file you have just saved. Using the tree menu on the right, navigate to String Table > 63 > 1033. Use the cursor to navigate through the text and change Welcome in both places. Click Compile and File > Save. Copy the file back to System32\en-US directory and from the same command prompt type mcbuilder. Restart Windows and you will see the text you have just replaced.
