Hello everyone, how are you? First of all, I’m new here, and I didn’t see anything about this type of post in the rules, so I believe I’m not violating any rules, right? I don’t know if I can mention the name of the software here, so I chose not to, unless it’s allowed. That’s why I censored the logo image that contains its name, and the text with its name.
It’s a POS system, I think only available here in Brazil. I can’t find the logo to change it. In fact, there are almost no images. I tried accessing the images with Resource Hacker, Resource Turner, and similar programs, but nothing worked. The bitmaps simply don’t appear.
Searching online, I found two identical software programs. I downloaded them, and when I checked, it was exactly the same system/software. Someone pirated them and managed to change the images and some other system features, but unfortunately, they released pirated versions and also offered them for sale with a trial mode. So, yes, you can change it; I just couldn’t do anything, not even with the help of AI.
I want to use it to manage my business. I’ve gone back to working with food delivery, and this software is very good. With it, I can control incoming and outgoing funds, manage inventory, and do many things in a much more organized way than manually. I used the trial version, and it’s very good and easy to use. I want to modify it to put a different logo and system name (my store’s name and a different logo on the interface). But it seems impossible; even in the pirated versions I mentioned, I couldn’t find the logo or change the window texts. In their folder, there’s a logo.bmp file; I changed the image and nothing changed, I removed the image and nothing changed, meaning the logo.bmp in the main folder is useless.
I’m not a programmer, but I’ve enjoyed tinkering with these things since I was little, and I’m always tinkering with everything to modify something. But this software is impossible; even with AI help, I couldn’t find the logo that appears on the interface or change the texts. Can anyone help me?

Start process explorer, start the app, look and see what files it has open.
You can also try opening the EXE as a zip file.
If the assets are compiled into the EXE, there’s a chance that if you put assets in an identical structure outside of the EXE, it’ll let you override them.
I also tried that and it didn’t solve the problem; it opened normally, hahaha.
I opened the program and took several screenshots during execution to see if I could find anything interesting, and when it got to the login screen and the main interface screen, I saw that it was empty, without buttons, images, etc. So, I believe the image is loading along with the windows, but it’s very fast and imperceptible. Maybe it’s in memory? I don’t know.
If that’s really the case, I don’t know how to check or try anything to change it.
I’m almost convinced that the images load into memory the moment the program starts. Because in the executable it seems like there’s "nothing.
"
The idea is you use the sysinternals to scrape the file handles as the app opens. It’ll log it and you can go back to the log and look. You just have to add the application as a filtered application.
If it’s opening them from anywhere in the disk, that’ll show up.
I don’t know if you missed my other reply but it’s indeed in the exe but they are compressed. Uncompressed exe had the resources you need to change in the exe file.
