  • 1.11

Redwood 1.11, published by the sz development, is a lightweight forensic viewer whose single purpose is to open any 32- or 64-bit Windows PE container—EXE, DLL, OCX, CPL or similar—and expose every embedded resource in a navigable tree. Analysts launch the portable executable, point it at a target file, and immediately browse icons, bitmaps, version stubs, string tables, manifests, dialogs or raw RCDATA without altering the original image; items can be previewed in a built-in hex, text or graphic pane and then extracted individually or in bulk to a chosen folder, making the program equally useful for reverse engineers auditing unknown binaries, graphic artists harvesting UI assets, translators collecting dialog or string resources, or developers confirming that their own builds contain the correct version information and icons. Because it reads only the resource section and never writes to disk unless the user explicitly exports, Redwood is routinely run inside sandboxes or on production machines where safety and minimal footprint are paramount, and its one-file distribution keeps forensic toolkits uncluttered. The utility belongs to the “PE resource editors / viewers” category, occupies a few hundred kilobytes, and, as of its first and only public release, carries no dependencies beyond the Windows PE loader itself. Redwood is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest 1.11 build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
