Hi.

Can you add support for a command-line without GUI and output to the console?

No problem implementing it, but there's a couple of thoughts. Usually, a command line is useful when integrating with a build process, i.e. when you build a Go executable. But the patch is a 2-step process: besides patching the EXE file, it's also necessary to drop DLL files into the system directory on the target Win7 system, otherwise the patched EXE will not work anywhere. So the patcher is useless at build time and reasonable only on a target Win 7 system.

And, on the target system it's aimed at end-users who would conveniently patch a stock-built Go EXE on their system using a GUI and make it work.

So what is your use case and why do you need a command line?

I use a lot of go console and other console utilities. I work mostly on the command line and for me there is no need for a GUI :) Additionally, the console version can be used through the right-click context menu through the registry, etc.
