7-ZIP SFX Maker Source Code
I’m not getting time to work on this program so I am releasing the source code. The project has been uploaded to Sourceforge.net. If you are good in VB.NET programming then you can download the source code and develop it further, or you can use the code in your own program. Since the code is released under GNU GPL v3 any derived works will have to be open-source.

The bugs from the previous version have been fixed. This version supports localization. In order to translate this program, open the Languages folder. Make a copy of the file English.txt and rename it to the new language. Replace the text on every line with the text in the new language. When you start the program the new language will show up in the Language menu. I’ve never tried to localize a program before so this may not work very well. If you have any problems translating this program then email me and I will try to fix the problem. You can also mail me the translated language files and they will be included in the next version.

Feature Requests
Please do not email me with any feature requests for this particular program. Most of the features available in this program are due to the modifications made to the default 7-ZIP SFX module by Oleg Scherbakov. Please contact the author if you have any feature requests. If you are good in C++ you can download the source code for the original 7-ZIP SFX module and implement the features yourself (since the 7-zip project is open-source).
If you have any suggestions for the GUI then you are welcome to email me or leave a comment on my blog.

Important
This program uses Resource Hacker to change the SFX icon. There are some re-distribution restrictions with ResourceHacker so I can’t include it in this package. Download ResHack.zip from the following link, un-zip it and copy ResHacker.exe to the application folder.
