HI,

After creating setup.exe and if you right click and select Property then on Version's Tab, there are list of items that are displayed like, File version, Company Name, File Version, Internal Name, Product Name, Product version in the list box. I want to change this information as per my project.

Can anybody hass any idea on this.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem,

I believe this information is for Installshield since it is their bootstrapper. It may, however, be possible to change this information if you open the setup.exe as a resource file in Visual Studio.

thanks a lot.
I have try it . I can open the resource of the setup.exe, but if I change the data,
the setup.exe can't run.
Strangetly, I can change the other exe file's resource by this way. I think it seems that
installshield has some mechanism to protect the setup.exe.

I am not sure if this is a custom protection feature, or just happening because the date should also be changed for the file attributes themselves and not just for the internal version number. Maybe try using a tool to change the file's actual create/modify date and then change the internal date to match the file date itself.

Please note that you may be violating the Installshield EULA by modifying the setup.exe like this. At the very least they will probably not provide support for your setup if you do this.
