PE Packer

PE metadata rewriting and single-file executable bundling for .NET assemblies.

Features

  • Assembly Reference Rewriting — Rewrites assembly references in compiled .NET assemblies to target SDK reference assemblies instead of implementation assemblies (e.g., System.Private.CoreLib → System.Runtime).
  • Single-File Bundling — Creates single-file .NET executables using either the official SDK bundler or a built-in manual PE patcher.
  • App Host Generation — Generates standalone executable wrappers around .NET DLLs.

Installation

dotnet add package NickNa.PEPacker

Usage

Assembly Reference Rewriting

using PEPacker;

using var sourceStream = File.OpenRead("compiled.dll");
using var rewriter = new AssemblyReferenceRewriter(sourceStream, refAssemblyPath);
rewriter.Rewrite();

using var output = File.Create("rewritten.dll");
rewriter.Save(output);

Single-File Bundling

using PEPacker;
using PEPacker.Bundling;

var result = AppHostGenerator.CreateSingleFileExecutable(
    managedDllPath: "myapp.dll",
    outputExePath: "myapp.exe",
    assemblyName: "myapp"
);

Console.WriteLine($"Bundled with {result.TechniqueDescription}");
