What source code editor program to use?
Posted Thursday, June 17, 2010 by admin
I’m looking for a source code editor software program (like Dreamweaver) that I can use to edit a .exe file on my website. Viewing this file in Dreamweaver only shows mostly little boxes (binary code?). Some text is displayed and one of the lines is “assemblyIdentity type=”win32″ name=”Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls” version=”6.0.0.0″, if that is of any help . The file name is “UClaim Product Installer.exe”. It is one of 3 files zipped with every eBook Product at www.UClaim.com/products.asp . Thank you in advance.
I think its called binary? So I’m looking for an editor that would read binary code, just as Dreamweaver would read html, asp and php? Would it be called a compiler and interpreter? I’m not even sure if my source code is C++. I sure would appreciate it if you or someone could take a look at my file and tell me what editor or compiler or interpreter program I need. Here is a brief example:

Try BlueVoda Website Builder it is free but the best is microsoft sharepoint designer it is free and easy to use.
Here is the microsoft sharepoint designer url to download.
You need to decompile the *.exe file and use any program similar to the one that made it. Possibly done in C++, Visual Basic, .NET, Delphi, etc..

a .exe file is a compiled program. There is no easy way to edit it.
