Unpacking Petite

I'm trying to do this test thing (for fun) that requires me to change some values within the program. It's packed with Petite, so I figured I'd just use an unpacker and unpack it. Well, it seems extra protection has been added so that when I attempt to load it into the unpacker it results in a file i/o error. My friend unpacked it and sent it to me, of course, he either went afk or ignored me as soon as it finished transfering.  So, I have no idea how he got around the extra protection or how to fix the type mismatch I get when trying to run the unpacked version of the exe. Also, when I disassmeble the unpacked exe I still can't seem to find the values I need to modify.

Thanks for any help :)

Note that any packed program has the ability to unpack itself.  Have a look at the startup code and figure out how it does that :)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:
