Qt IFW : executable details / properties

CMRO

Hello,

Using Qt Intaller Framework 3, is there a way to set the built executable details. Those that can be shown with a right click on the executable, then "Properties" and "Details" tab. I would have expect the "Name" and "Version" set in the config.xml file to be set in "Product name" and "Product version".

Thanks for your help.

I am most interested in that as well.

As suggested here or here you can set properties to your executable.

I tried and works fine for me.

Steps followed:
1: Make a empty .rc file and copy paste the contents .
2: Copy the .rc file on the project folder.
3: Add the win32:RC_FILE = Details.rc in the .pro file
4: Rebuild the application and check the details tab.

Do you use the Qt installer framework and the binarycreator.exe?

Schenk

Can you give an pro-file example? I have a version.h. I tried your suggestion, but it does not work.
I tried it with an Qt installer example.

TEMPLATE = aux

INSTALLER = installer

INPUT = $$PWD/config/config.xml $$PWD/packages $$PWD/resources
example.input = INPUT
example.output = $$INSTALLER
example.commands = ../../bin/binarycreator -c $$PWD/config/config.xml -r $$PWD/resources/additional.qrc -p $$PWD/packages ${QMAKE_FILE_OUT}
example.CONFIG += target_predeps no_link combine

QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += example

OTHER_FILES = README

win32:RC_FILE += "$$PWD/resources/res.rc"

U want to output of the QtIFW to show the details or the output of your application to show details?

CMRO

Thanks for your answer Ratzz.

I actually want the output of QtIFW to have the details. I thinks that what you proposed is for the application.

@CMRO

May be that is not possible with QtIFW . As suggested here it can only show version in control panel.
May be you can change once you use QtIFW and use these
