Asked By Brittany Williams 50 points N/A Posted on - 01/24/2013

Hi there,

I'm trying to learn visual basic programming. I just trying to dig one exe file written in visual basic.

Is it possible to extract embedded visual basic source codes to view module code or macros?

Thanks in advance from a novice learner.

Extract embedded source codes from exe file written in visual basic?

Hello Brittany Williams,

 

Yes, it is possible to extract the source code from compiled exe files. You can use VB Decompiler to extract the source code. You can find and download it here: https://www.vb-decompiler.org/

This is useful if you only have the exe file and you have lost the source code because of various reasons. Be warned that it is illegal if you extract exe files that others have created.

Hope this helps.
