SectionAlignment As Long
' The alignment of sections within the PE file. For x86 executables, this value is usually either
' 0x200 (/OPT:WIN98) or 0x1000 (/OPT:NOWIN98). The default has changed with different versions of
' the Microsoft linker. This value must be a power of 2, and if the SectionAlignment is less than
' the CPU's page size, this field must match the SectionAlignment.
FileAlignment As Long
' The major version number of the required operating system.
' With the advent of so many versions of Windows, this field has effectively become irrelevant.
MajorOperatingSystemVersion As Integer
' The minor version number of the required OS.
MinorOperatingSystemVersion As Integer
' The major version number of this file. Unused by the system and can be 0.
' It can be set with the linker /VERSION switch.
MajorImageVersion As Integer
' The minor version number of this file.
MinorImageVersion As Integer
' The major version of the operating subsystem needed for this executable.
' At one time, it was used to indicate that the newer Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 user interface was
' required, as opposed to older versions of the Windows NT interface. Today, because of the
' proliferation of the various versions of Windows, this field is effectively unused by the system
' and is typically set to the value 4. Set with the linker /SUBSYSTEM switch.
MajorSubsystemVersion As Integer
' The minor version of the operating subsystem needed for this executable.
MinorSubsystemVersion As Integer
' Another field that never took off. Typically set to 0.
Win32VersionValue As Long
' SizeOfImage contains the RVA that would be assigned to the section following the last section if it
' existed. This is effectively the amount of memory that the system needs to reserve when loading
' this file into memory. This field must be a multiple of the section alignment.
SizeOfImage As Long
' The combined size of the MS-DOS header, PE headers, and section table. All of these items will
' occur before any code or data sections in the PE file. The value of this field is rounded up to
' a multiple of the file alignment.
SizeOfHeaders As Long
' The checksum of the image. The CheckSumMappedFile API in IMAGEHLP.DLL can calculate this value.
' Checksums are required for kernel-mode drivers and some system DLLs. Otherwise, this field
' can be 0. The checksum is placed in the file when the /RELEASE linker switch is used.
CheckSum As Long
' An enum value indicating what subsystem (user interface type) the executable expects.
' This field is only important for EXEs. Important values include:
' IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_NATIVE (Image doesn't require a subsystem)
' IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI (Use the Windows GUI)
' IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI (Run as a console mode application. When run, the OS creates a
' console window for it, and provides stdin, stdout, and stderr file handles)
Subsystem As Integer
' Flags indicating characteristics of this DLL represented by IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_xxx #defines.
' Some values are: IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NO_BIND (Do not bind this image)
' IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_WDM_DRIVER (Driver uses WDM model)
' IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_TERMINAL_SERVER_AWARE (When the terminal server loads an application
' that is not Terminal- Services-aware, it also loads a DLL that contains compatibility code)
DllCharacteristics As Integer
' In EXE files, max size the initial thread in the process can grow to (1MB by default).
' Not all memory is committed initially.
SizeOfStackReserve As Int64
' In EXE files, the amount of memory initially committed to the stack. Default is 4KB.
SizeOfStackCommit As Int64
' In EXE files, the initial reserved size of the default process heap. Default is 1MB.
' In current versions of Windows, however, the heap can grow beyond this without user intervention.
SizeOfHeapReserve As Int64
' In EXE files, the size of memory committed to the heap. By default, this is 4KB.
SizeOfHeapCommit As Int64
' This is obsolete.
LoaderFlags As Long
' At the end of the IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure is an array of IMAGE_DATA_DIRECTORY structures.
' This field contains the number of array entries. (has been 16 since earliest releases of NT)
NumberOfRvaAndSizes As Long
' A pointer to the first IMAGE_DATA_DIRECTORY structure in the data directory. The number of
' directories is not fixed. Check NumberOfRvaAndSizes before looking for a specific directory.
DataDirectory(0 To 15) As IMAGE_DATA_DIRECTORY
