How do I add Product name to .exe's

[Python007]

Hi all,

This is my first post, and I am fairly new to Autoit scripting.....

Suffice to say that I have written my program in SciTE, and when I came to compiling it, I could add file description, file version and copyright information, but I could not add Product name to my executable.

I have spent most of last night looking for a utility that allows you to add this information to executables with no success ;-(

The reason I need to add Product name to my exe is so that the menu (winreconfig.xml) in my Windows Recovery Environment generates a title for my utility.

Currently my program is defined as "unknown" - with my logo at the side and a description of what it does, but surely there must be a way to further customize this information.

I have looked at the GImageX utility and noticed that the Product name is present in the .exe details submenu.

Any help would be appreciated, as it is the final leg of my mission to create my own 64-bit factory restore executable.

Many thanks

Andy

Try this:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Product Name|My product name

All directives are here:

C:\PROGRAM%20FILES\AUTOIT3\SCITE\Scite4AutoIt3.chm::/AutoIt3Wrapper.htm#Directive

EDIT: corrected Produkt --> Product

Another way is using Reshacker to do it!

1st: you should decompress the file *.exe which Packed by UPX

2nd: drop this unpacked file to Reshacker and modify the value at Version string

last: Compile and save your file

my own 64-bit factory restore executable.

Assuming the op is using the 64-bit stub for his project...

Not so sure about that.

The reason I spent to time to code it all up in AutoIt3 native code was the fact that I had to include the res.exe + dlls and that people had to download reshacker and on top of that the main reason was that reshacker doesn't support x64 compiled script which the internal code does.

In this case stick to the wrapper directives.

Hi,

I tried Zedna's method and no luck, so maybe I'm doing something wrong at the compile menu stage?

When I right click on my executable the Product Name is not displayed, yet when I right click on the GImageX utility, it does.

Unless somebody knows how to add a title to the menu option in winreconfig.xml I'm pretty much stuck, because apparently the WinRE menu item gets it's name from the Product Name field in the .exe file

I'm sure i'll crack it - but only with your help ;-)

i opened a exe with Productname in reshacker and this are the string-names i got:

BuildSignature, ProductGuid, BuildGuid, TradeName, FileDescription, FileVersion, InternalName, 
LegalCopyright, OriginalFilename, ProductVersion, CompanyName, ProductName, HomePage

I think the one you look for, is ProductName.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=ProductName|My product name

Brilliant! - THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH

I've been pulling my hair out on this one - it was the last step before final implementation!

Once again - I am indebted to you.

Thanks

Product Name is not being set even after I am adding

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Product Name|Prod Reset

[SlackerAl]

Looks to me like there should not be a space in it: ProductName
