RPAtool on steroids (Compiled version)

This version of rpatool was converted to C++ using and compiled with gcc/MingW by cooperdk.

I decided to post it because the only other version not requiring a full Python package is not compiled, but just a packaged Python which extracts and runs itself when executed.
This version does require the Python dll (included) but every Python library etc. is compiled to C++ and resides in the executable.
Therefore, this copy is ultrafast.

Installation:

If you don't have the Python 3.9 library in your path, make sure it resides alongside the EXE or copy it to c:\windows\system32
You may also place the EXE there, so that it's always available (c:\windows\system32 is a required system path).
The file has been checked for viruses before upload, but it is uncompressed so that those interested may examine it if in doubt.

The EXE itself is only about 500 kilobytes. I would love if compressors/developers would test it and compare it's speed with the regular Python version and the other (PyInstaller) version in here.

Refer to the text file included for usage info, or type "rpatool -h" in your command line interface.
