See with Cff explorer it is creating export table after rsc section.  If it do next bit up first optimization then fine other wise not . I do not know whether it do so

what sort of problems would this cause for XP?

I'm going to try something, I'll let you know if it works.

Okay

I'm trying to find the part of the code that calls the section it creates "KernelEx" and change it, but I can't seem to find it.

edit: found it in common.h

This code adds a second .data section to dll files instead of the existing .data section.

If anyone knows how to fix it would be appreciated.

in patch.cpp:

void apply_patches(CPEFile& PEfile, abstract_patch* patches[])
{

/* ... */
  
		//create new section
		int UpdateRVA;
		char * UpdateOfs = NULL;

		if (total_code_size)
		{
			UpdateOfs = (char *) PEfile.AddSection(UPDT_SEC_NAME, total_code_size, 
				&UpdateRVA, IMAGE_SCN_MEM_EXECUTE | IMAGE_SCN_CNT_CODE);

Does somebody know how customize Engine of KEX to insert new section before ".rsrsc"

You Should insert extend table before ".rsrc"

Move "KernelEx"  table after ".data"

@piotrhnThanks,

Whilst I was experimenting with the code I noticed that the patched ws2_32.dll and uxtheme.dll were showing up as garbage in CFF explorer whereas the other patched DLLs seemed to be fine.
