Working with PE Files
PE Explorer is a tool for advanced users or programmers, that allows you to peak inside a Windows executable PE file. "PE" in PE Explorer stands for "Portable Executable". A PE file is the native format of executable binaries (DLLs, drivers and programs) for the Microsoft Windows® 32-bit operating systems. PE Explorer can handle and examine a variety of different PE file types: EXE, DLL, SYS, MSSTYLES, OCX, SCR and more.
The Headers Info Viewer lets you reduce the numerous internal information sources of PE files into a more convenient viewing format. The Entry Point value can be modified using automatic range checking. PE Explorer will notify you if the new value falls outside of the permissable range disabling the button.
You can compare the real checksum to the value reported by the header. If necessary it is possible to update the value of the checksum in the header.
If opening a file produces an error, PE Explorer opens that file in Safe mode. While in Safe mode, the data that caused the error can not be operated on. This does not guarantee that the excluded file data is error free, but in many cases this unique feature allows you to work with damaged files (e.g. compressed files).
