EXE Properties

[_pi]

Is it possible in qm to add details like file version, product name, copyright, etc to the compiled exe?

Need to create version resource with a resource editor program, save as .res, and specify the .res in Make Exe dialog.

Resource Hacker FX: the improved Resource Hacker
Remember the good ol’ Resource Hacker?
It’s a popular Resource viewer/editor, I use it to quickly view and edit resources. I tried to find an alternative, but I did not find any that I liked, so I decided to just improve Resource Hacker.

Cannot make exe. Error 12, failed to add res file.

It must be compiled.
.res is compiled, .rc is text.

[Gintaras]

Try ResEdit. Tested, works.

please explain.

[Gintaras]

You pasted text version. Must be binary.
Try ResEdit, it creates compatible .res files.
