eurk, that's pretty awful

VERIFY(UpdateResource(hUpdateRes,L"IDR_EXE",MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_IDR_EXE_EXEEXTRACTOR),MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL),
buff,nSize));

VERIFY(UpdateResourceA(hUpdateRes,"IDR_EXE",MAKEINTRESOURCEA(IDR_IDR_EXE_EXEEXTRACTOR),MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL), buff, nSize));
