Now the good news is, our friend "Angus Johnson" has released an updated version of Resource Hacker which now supports 64-bit files as well as PNG images and icons.
That's a major update and every Resource Hacker user should download the new version 3.6.0
Changes List:

Thanks so much for this! Lost hope that I wouldn't be able to edit resources later due to lack of a free tool that supports 64-bit.

Great! :D
I sure wouldn't have expected that it'd be updated after over seven years. :P

I can't believe it is updated after 7 yrs, I guess there will be some more development from now on.

great, this replaces the resource tuner (which is not free) and gets even better than it.
this is simple but yet fully functional tool. ^^
