EXE Author's name on Windows 11

EXE Author's name on Windows 11

Postby Enrico Maria Giordano » Sat Jul 29, 2023 9:08 am

Dear friends, I noticed that on Windows 11 I can't see the Author's name of my EXE files. It was displayed previously (on Windows 10 and maybe on an earlier version of Window11, I don'r remember exactly). Any ideas?

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
{
 BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
 {
  BLOCK "040904E4"
  {
   VALUE "CompanyName", "EMAG Software\0"

Dear Enrico,

FWH\samples\filever.prg and filever.rc are working fine on Windows 11

Just modify ISNUM() with HB_ISNUM() call (fixed for next build)

Please look at properties details of the EXE. There is no company name property.

Dear Enrico,

This is what I get on Windows 11:

It seems as "Legal trademarks" is the name of the company

Yes, this is exactly the problem: the CompanyName field is not displayed anymore (it was few months ago).

Enrico

If you hover over the .exe with your mouse you do the the Company name ... etc .. but not when you look at the properties of the .exe ..

Please look at the startup applications tab in the Task Manager of Windows 11. The Author's name is displayed only for the apps and not for the desktop programs anymore. It was few months ago, I am sure.
