I also hacked the default RAR file icon. I can't post it here since it looks like the head of G. Bush on a platter. I found the icon at a Muslim website.

I've been doing this lately, editing WinRAR SFX for different programs I install.

Hi there all,

Am having a little problem that i hope you may be able to help me with.

After following the steps i can't see an icon even when i change the whatever.sfx to whatever.exe... if i open the updated whatever.sfx file again in reshack and try to view the icon group i get the following error message:

this file has a non-standard resource layout...

it probably has been compressed with and "EXE Compressor"

I have not yet compressed the files.

Anyone got any ideas? I am using version 3.4.0.79 of reshack

@`Felix`, .sfx file are upx compressed. you'll need the upx tool to expand them, then reshack and compress again.

@goboeloscuro, nice to see some1 from spain. we aren't many

totoymola - you may want to put a link to the Unpacked SFX modules for those who wish to modify their resources available from the rarlabs website - Unpacked SFX modules as part of your guide...
