        with open(input_file, 'rb') as f:

    else:
        patch_exe(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else None)

How to Run:

  1. Save the code in a Python script (e.g., patcher.py).

  2. Open the terminal/command prompt and run the script like so:

    python patcher.py "path_to_sublime_text.exe"

    Replace "path_to_sublime_text.exe" with the actual path to the sublime_text.exe file.

  3. The patched version will be saved in the same directory as the original file (or you can specify a custom output path).

Note:

Please be aware that even after applying the patch, the status may still display as (UNREGISTERED). This is normal, and you can safely disregard this message because the app is already activited.

I have alreadu saved file with the initial text as "python.py" (screen attached)

I always see an error on command prompt on my windows (screen attached).

Please, could you help what I'm doing wrong? Screenshot 2025-08-28 003053 Screenshot 2025-08-28 003033

You need to download and install Python on Windows first.
