SMSS / USetup.exe Problem

SMSS / USetup.exe

Tried editing my Windows XP source files (the smss and usetup.exe) which controls the non-GUI portion of the install (blue background with white text for formatting drives, etc)

I want to edit some text, but whenever I open it with Resource Hacker, it's fine, however, I get stuck when I edit and COMPILE IT, the software goes "Not Responding" and never comes outta it unless I CTRL+ALT+DEL and stop the process. It only freezes when compiling that one file.

What am I doing wrong?

Thx,

thanks for the fast answer, i'll try it out.

I found another way: you can edited the code/strings with a little shareware called "Resource Tuner" (Link).
