Change VersionInfo in executables

[Iuli]

Hi,

I tried today to change VersionInfo without ResHacker command-line, with pure AutoIT code. So, i wrote this code :

#Include <String.au3>

Const   $STR_TO_REPLACE="I g o r  P a v l o v" ;this is how string looks like in the executable
Const   $REPLACE_STR="I u l i" ;the new string i want in the executable

;Select file for modifing
$file=FileOpenDialog("Open file","","")

;Open file and convert to HEX
$fo=FileOpen($file,16)
$cont=Hex(FileRead($fo))
FileClose($fo)

;Replace string
$cont=StringReplace($cont,_StringToHex($STR_TO_REPLACE),_StringToHex($REPLACE_STR))

;Select file to save to
$files=FileSaveDialog("Save file","","")

;Save file
$fw=FileOpen($files,2)
FileWrite($fw,Binary("0x" & $cont))
FileClose($fw)

;Exit
Exit

The problem seems to be with ReplaceString. So, i converted "I g o r P a v l o v" to HEX, then i searched in the HEX converted file with Notepad, finding nothing. Am i missing something ? If that string is in the executable, shouldn't it be in the HEX converted file too, under HEX form ?

EDIT : I remember that JScript had kinda'of UDF on the forums, but i cannot find it.

Thanks,

Iuli.

Yeah, the AutoIt3Wrapper directives.

You don't get to me I am not trying to change VersionInfo to my AutoIT executables, but to a random executable.

Look for the Resource Hacker UDF in example scripts.

It looks like you are probably going to be breaking copyright laws here. As far as I'm aware Igor has nothing that isn't copyrighted including 7zip

Actually, i'm not breaking any copyright laws. I'm using 7-zip to make a SFX installer (SFXMaker) and i want to change the VersionInfo of SFX Installer Executable.

Are you talking about this post ?

Hello,
