#2397 Unable to edit resources in 7Zi[

[Noah Daniel Walters]

So I found an issue while editing an resource on 7Zip. When I edited a resource with notepad and saved it and then closed it, I got an error message saying: Cannot update file (location) Read-only (the location of the program). https://imgur.com/ieDOK5x

How do I fix this? Thanks!

It's not bug.
It's missing of feature.
7-Zip doesn't implement feature for updating of PE (EXE/DLL) files (.rsrc section and anothers).

That feature is not required for usual users.
It can be used by hackers.
And hackers can use another special software for such unusual tasks.
