Ps: I installed requirements. Not working.

Also i check py code backing up exe file (exe.bak)

Hello developer,

I get the error message when executing the py-file: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\UpdateFreak\Downloads'

The sublime_text_4_patcher.py and sublime_text.exe are in C:\Users\UpdateFreak\Downloads

System: Windows 10 21H1 with Miniconda 3 (Python 3.9.5)

I got the following error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "sublime_text_4_patcher.py", line 8, in import prefile ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prefile'

Although I followed all the instructions and it even says when I try to reinstall prefile

Requirement already satisfied: pefile in c:\users\no name\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (2021.5.24) Requirement already satisfied: future in c:\users\no name\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from pefile) (0.18.2)

Is there a solution?

Right after entering any license the "Thanks for purchase" popup appears and it wants internet access. image Port 443 so it is most likely https. After running strings I found that it is either sublimehq.com, sublimetext.com or sublimemerge.com all pointing to this IP. Or a crafted string from an array. It might have been an initial version check, Im too lazy to open up wireshark tho. I just block it and we good. If you want to find out you could use dnsproxy with --verbose to see all dns requests.

Thank you so much for writing this up, both as a crack but also for someone interested in furthering my Python knowledge, reading the source-code for this has been a good learning experience.

Unfortunately the patcher doesn't seem to be working for me for Sublime Text 4 Stable Build 4126. I'm copying the .exe from my Program Files into the patcher folder and patching directly from there to avoid permissions issues, but trying to enter a license gives me this error:

Here's my console output:

I've cloned this repo directly and I'm running Python 3. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated thanks!

They're near identical patchers anyway, just different offsets, so it would be easy to add to this pwsh scripts I use to patch: ST

Hi, first of all thanks for uploading this patcher. Really useful. A small request of mine is to upload a similar patcher for the Linux build of 4126v
