You can do it with Visual C++.
Here's how I create resource files: (I have VB 5, without the Resource File Editor Add-in for VB, and I use VC++ 5 to do it)
  • Create an empty file with the extension RES. For example, "resource.res".
  • Open it (double-click in the file explorer, it should automatically open it in VC++).
  • That's the VC++ resource file editor! I'm not sure it will work for what you want, but it's a different one than VB's add-in!
