EXE format

[CornedBee]

Has anyone got a format specification for the Win95/NT EXE files for me? Thx

For most file formats go to:
http://www.wotsit.org/
:D

Yes, I know, I got a broken link to microsoft there.
I'll look again, but maybe someone else knows some direct link.

http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp?page=2&s=windows has 4 links to Windows EXEs

They all describe the NE (new executable) format that Win 3.1 used. I want the description of the PE (portable executable) format that was introduced with Win NT and is used by all 32-bit versions of windows.

Hereya go... Included is a decent description of the PE file format, and some misc. asm code that gets them out. The file PE.txt is probably what you are looking for

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I needed.

No probs at all. Maybe you could help me somewhat...

Im looking for a way to get out the PE info in VB. I need an efficient way to do it (ie without using Seek # or whatever).

I can do it in C and/or ASM, but I need a way to do it in VB, any ideas?

No, sorry, I don't know VB.
