in reply to Reverse PP Packaging

You can use zip or 7-zip to unpack the executable. 7-zip, at least, seems to be able to unpack any executable. It can be interesting to see what's "hiding" in an executable.

    is interesting..but not surprising: i tried with a packed version of my tk Tartaglia's triangle and with 7-zip you can see all the files and modules inserted in it. If i remember correctly i had a problem with the absence of libwinpthread-1.dll so i put it in the executable in this way: copied in the same dir of pp, and told pp to add (--add) ./libwinpthread-1.dll. So in the verbose output i found: pp: ... adding ./libwinpthread-1.dll as ./libwinpthread-1.dll
