Re: [cx-freeze-users] How to specify Version, Author, Description metadata in Windows EXE

[Anthony T. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi,

Up until about 5 minutes ago, cx_Freeze didn't support adding version
information resources to Windows executables. I always wanted to do
so, however, so thanks for the reminder. I went ahead and checked in
the code to Subversion trunk which will be part of the 4.2.2 release I
plan to make shortly. I have a few more things I'd like to test,
however. If you get a chance, please give it a try. You can safely
replace cx_Freeze/dist.py and cx_Freeze/freezer.py in an existing
installation with the ones in Subversion trunk. There is no need to
build the base executables again to test this. You also have to have
the win32 extensions installed for this to work. Without them, you
will get a warning and the version information resource will not be
created. Hope that works for you.

Anthony
