Description alerikaisattera 2024-08-04 19:48:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
Ark can open and extract Windows Portable Executable files, but can't replace files in them or otherwise edit. Certain other archive managers, such as 7zip, have such capabilities.

Suggestion: add PE editing capabilities to Ark

Turns out, "archive" PE-EXE (not SFX) files are regular ZIP archives that can be edited/repacked
