I got this software which came with a Digital Spy Pen and i want to look at the code and see how it works. The pen product number is HE509 and the software is very simple. It just has a few buttons to press and a display area which diplays the downloaded images. It almost looks like it could be some for of VB because of how simple the software enviroment looks. I have read that there are no such things as decompilers for VB5 and 6 executables

 

Any ideas of how to crack this exe. It also comes with a dll which i will have to look at in a second

Yeah, you can't decompile Visual Basic .exe's the most you can get is just the form names and some other minor details. All you could really do is to get a disassembler and view its assembly code.

..and as far as a dll, all you're going to get is assembler code and the imports/exports names

Surprised? So was I.

The program is a bit limited, but it does the work. Mostly.

 

I was also told that the program called "RACE" (not usually found in search engines, but can be found here: http://www.exetools.com/ ) is good to extract images and files from a VB exe file. It isn't as good in code extracting, but oh well, better than nothing.

 

This: http://www.decompiler.org/

might help too.

 

And in general, try to google for "Decompile VB EXE" it might show some good results.

 

Hope that helped.
