hi Enrico,

when you talk about Task Manager : right click on Header to "add" Company Name

this CODE will show you all available Property

I already have the column Author but it is empty for desktop programs (it is not empty for apps). I repeat: it was not empty few months ago. Something in Windows 11 is changed. :-(

I already post it:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
{
 BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
 {
  BLOCK "040904E4"
  {
   VALUE "CompanyName", "EMAG Software\0"
  }
 }
}

Anyway, the problem is not mine, it is Windows 11 after a recent update (few months ago). Even OneDrive.exe and SecurityHealthSystray.exe don't show the Author's name (should be Microsoft Corporation). Cortana and Skype (as an example) show it. So, the apps show the Author's name, the desktop programs don't show it.

I already tried it. CompanyName is not displayed in the properties. It seems a Windows bug, nothing that we can fix. :-(

It seems that the author name is now the field Publisher that is in the apps manifest but not in the desktop programs manifest. That's why we don't see it anymore. :-(

Some news. With this VERSIONINFO:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO 
{
 BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
 {
  BLOCK "040904E4"
  {
   VALUE "CompanyName", "EMAG Software\0"
  }
 }
 BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
 {
  VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 0x4B0
 }
}

I can see the CompanyName hovering the mouse over the EXE. So far so good. I even saw the CompanyName in the startup tab of Task Manager but only once, then it disappeared again. :-(

The fact of not showing the Company Name does not mean that Windows does not "see" the data. The important thing is that the anti-virus does not block your program. It might just be a temporary bug in Windows 11.
