Change Description

.resx files may contain binary formatted input. If you attempt to use resgen to load a file that was downloaded from an untrusted location, it will fail to load the input by default.

• Quirked
• Build-time break

Recommended Action

Resgen users who require loading binary formatted input from untrusted locations can either remove the mark of the web from the input file or apply the opt-out quirk.

Add the following registry setting to apply the machine wide opt-out quirk: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\SDK] "AllowProcessOfUntrustedResourceFiles"="true"
