Ive played with freeware programs that do something similiar. Why pay for TweakVB?
The freeware programs that we’re aware of fall into two camps. Those in the first simply replace the LINK.EXE program with a stub that allows you to perform some modifications to the link process. While this is certainly workable, it requires changes to your installation that can be easily forgotten and render your system non-standard. Furthermore, your Visual Basic code doesn’t drive the process. You have to configure additional external files for that, which complicates things.
