Thread: Feature Request

  1. #1

    Default Feature Request

    I know you can specify a version resource for the install but I'd also
    like to embed a version resource in other files using something along
    the lines of "#embed version resource" in the same manner I already
    use "#embed UAC manifest" and "#code-sign application".

    By the way, Friedrich, thanks for fixing the code sign dialog so it
    doesn't forget the descriptive name when selecting a different
    certificate profile.

    Huh? You been looking inside my computer while I'm on the Internet? <g>

    The problem is that this is not a trivial task at all. To manipulate the
    version resource of an application file, you have to "re-create" the whole
    PE structure, update the checksum, etc. This is a very complex and
    failure-prone process. And it still might result in fatal application
    failures. Over the years, I have tried freeware and commercial tools and
    quite often it damaged the .EXE and .DLL files. The encoding (Unicode and
    non-Unicode) makes a big difference and the original compiler that created
    the application.

    But hey, you already had this very good idea five years ago <g>

    But I think that I have a somewhat stable "#edit version resource..."
    compiler directive now. And I bet that Antivirus and anti-spyware
    "protection" systems will love this feature <g>. To be on the safe side,
    I'll mark it as a "use at your own risk" function <g>

    See attached screenshots. I'll enable this directive in the next SB build.
    Thank you for your suggestion.

    I use BuildAutomator to completely do all versioning for me, including
    writing version resource files for both Clarion and Visual C and passing
    version information to Setup Builder - as well as writing version
    information to Help&Manual builds and template and source files!

    Best regards,

    Arnor,

    > I use BuildAutomator

    I have the large part of the process automated for me. This was more a
    request for a friend that doesn't have an overabundance of funds and
    is just getting started. He -does- have SB, though!<g>
