VersionResource

Steve Alan Waring
Hi, I have been experimenting with deploying ToGo applications with modified
VersionResources.

Some thoughts:

>From MSDN:

| OriginalFilename: The Value member identifies the original
| name of the file, not including a path. This enables an
| application to determine whether a file has been renamed
| by a user. This name may not be MS-DOS 8.3-format if the
| file is specific to a non-FAT file system.

Could the ImageStripper automatically change this to the executableName?

The preStripScript is run after the stub has been copied and updated. Is it
possible to change the order so that the script can be used to update the
versionResource?

Does anyone have any thoughts on updating versionResources? I have added
class side helper methods to my SessionManagers, which are sent an
imageStripper's versionResource, and update the fileVersion and
productVersion. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Steve

Yes, seems like a good idea.

That might also be a good idea, but I can't risk that change this near to
release.
