Guest GEVERTIN Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I used AutoIt v3 to create a script that has a GUI interface, and I then compiled it into an exe (let's call it "fubar.exe"). I have not yet distributed fubar.exe it to my end users. After doing some basic testing of fubar.exe (it works fine), I became curious about its Windows file properties. So I right-clicked on the fubar.exe icon and clicked Properties, and I then clicked the Version tab. I was unpleasantly surprised to find the following information there: "File version 3.1.0.15" (which is obviously the AutoIt version) "http://www.autoitscript.com..." "Language English United Kingdom" All of that information is potentially very confusing to my end users because the version number of fubar.exe is not 3.1.0.15, the URL for help with fubar.exe is not autoitscript.com, and the fubar.exe GUI is not in English United Kingdom. So here is my question: is it possible to edit such information when creating a new exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz44 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 u can remove all that informatin with the program. "Scrite" .. scrite is an editor. i guess for autoit .. instead of having to do it in notepad or w/e scrite is a better way... u can tidy ur code etc.. it uses different colours for funtions etc ... and when u compile an autoit script using scrite u can decide whether or not to have the information u are talking about.. and u can also change it =).. gimme a sec while i get the link qq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hi, When u are using the Scite4AutoIt as the editor, u can use Ctrl-F7 to compile into an .exe and provide that information. Andre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GEVERTIN Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thank you very much for all of the posts in this thread. I'm impressed by how quickly and knowledgeably everybody has responded to my original post. After reading the suggestions in this thread (all of which have been excellent), I have downloaded and begun using both Scite and resHacker. They are fantastic programs. By using those two programs, I was able to generally solve the problem that I described in my original post. But I still have one little problem remaining. Although I successfully changed these items (by using Scite and resHacker)... "File version 3.1.0.15" "http://www.autoitscript.com..." ...I still was not able to change the Language item. So please tell me how I can change the Language item from this... "English (United Kingdom)" ...to this... "English (United States)" Thanks again. I'm looking forward to reading additional posts in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
