PExe1.0

Software developers are always looking for ways to simplify their workflow and complete various tasks more efficiently. Often, a straightforward tool designed for a specific purpose can prove to be a lot more helpful that a complex software solution that causes you to waste valuable time.PExe is a very simple utility that enables you to examine executable files and determine if they are written in native code or NET assembly. If the latter is true, it also allows you to disassemble them.

Straightforward program that does have certain prerequisites

Before anything else, you should ensure .Net Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio and Windows SDK are installed on your computer.While it is possible to check files without having these components on your system, they are required for disassembling executable files.

Validate executable files and disassemble them

PExe is primarily designed to enable you to verify executable files and check if there are written in native code or NET assembly. Essentially, you just need to import it and press the “Check File” button.If the executable is written in NET assembly, you also have the option of disassembling it. Its components are automatically extracted and placed in the original file’s containing folder.

Simple tool that features a minimalistic interface

PExe is very easy to use, as you only need to browse to the respective EXE file on your hard drive or provide its full path. Drag and drop actions are not supported, however, which would have made this task a lot easier.The interface is clearly designed to be functional, but it has to be said that it looks very outdated. Nevertheless, this should not be a problem for its target user base.All in all, PExe it a no-nonsense software utility that can come to the aid of developers, as it allows you to check executable files in order to determine if they are written in NET assembly or native code and, optionally, disassemble them.
