RES.Change Manifest
Change the Manifest of any executable
Intention
This command is used to attach an Manifest(.xml) File of your choice to an executable.
The original Manifest - if there was one before - will be removed during the process.
Lets make a Sample. Here we have an executable and an manifest file.
Here is our Script. We run it.
Now the folder looks like this:
As you can see, the Manifest was implanted into the Executable. Now we remove it and make it to "asInvoker".
Here is our Script:
VAR.$$EXE=File.exe
VAR.$$FIA=?path\$$EXE
VAR.$$MAN=?path\asInvoker.xml
' You can use the short Form "cm" for Change Manifest, also.
RES.CM|$$FIA|$$MAN
ENR.
We run it and ... we are back!

Remarks
Please take care of these points.
1. Files may be protected or copyrighted
2. Signed files may loose their signature (but you may sign them yourself after the process)
3. If the process fails for whatever reason (Antivirus .. etc.) the result may be an unusable file!
Especially for this reason, always work on a copy of the original file!
