VclStylesInno.dll + Protected Styles

[BLACKFIRE69]

VclStylesInno.dll + Protected Styles


> This modified version of 'VclStylesInno.dll' is for those who want to hide their 'Style' from others.

> The procedure is straightforward: 'ResourcesPacker.exe' will encrypt your 'Style' file and save it in the DLL's resources.

> Afterward, you only need to call 'LoadVCLStyleFromResourcesW' within the 'script' file to load the 'Style' file.

Q: So, can anyone just grab the 'Style' file from the resources? And if they can, what happens next?
A: Yeah, but the 'Style' file is already encrypted, so nobody can use it.

Q: What else can you do to make it even more secure?
A: I can introduce a password, so only the person with the password can use this 'Style' files.

STEPS:

1. If the 'VclStylesInno.dll' file is compressed (upx), unpack it.
2. Run 'ResourcesPacker.exe' and add the 'Style' files into the resources.
3. Load the 'Style' files using the 'LoadVCLStyleFromResourcesW' function.
4. If needed, you can compress (upx) the Dll file again.

function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
  LoadVCLStyleFromResourcesW('STYLE_02');
  Result := True;
end;

Tested:

1. InnoSetup: v6.2.2
2. VclStylesInno (Mod): v1.5.4.1
3. UPX: v4.1.0
4. Windows 11/10.

Update:

* Added password protection.
  - Password serves as an additional layer of security but cannot decrypt the 'Style' file.
* Added new function.

procedure LoadVCLStyle(VClStyleFile: String);
function LoadVCLStyleFromResourcesW(const ResourceName, Password: WideString): Boolean;
function LoadStyleGetLastError: WideString; 
procedure UnLoadVCLStyles;

Updates available!

* Updated VclStylesInno(mod).dll.
* Updated ISCompilerEx.dll.
* Added ResourcesPackerDll.dll.

Public Libs + ResourcesPackerDll.dll

* ResourcesPackerDll.dll will help you create your custom ResourcesPackers for VclStylesInno(mod).dll and ISCompilerEx.dll (Public Versions)
instead of using my default ones.

* I haven't included any unpacking functions in ResourcesPackerDll.dll, so resources cannot be decrypted from the outside.

@BLACKFIRE69, can you fix ISCompilerEx.dll the Windows security software thinks it's a virus.

* And free from false-positive trojan pop-ups.

@Everyone,

There're no tools available to recover ISS files from the 'ISCompilerEx.dll', and i've no intention of doing so out of respect for others' work.

additionally, someone could violate this, and i won't attempt it, even for the original authors of those Scripts.

Cheers. 🍻
