Dear friends, I noticed that on Windows 11 I can't see the Author's name of my EXE files. It was displayed previously (on Windows 10 and maybe on an earlier version of Window11, I don'r remember exactly). Any ideas?

Board index FiveWin for Harbour/xHarbour EXE Author's name on Windows 11
Dear Enrico,
Could you provide an example of how you are placing the author name in the EXE ?
many thanks
Here it is (it worked fine previously):
VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "040904E4"
{
VALUE "CompanyName", "EMAG Software\0"
}
}
}Dear Enrico,
FWH\samples\filever.prg and filever.rc are working fine on Windows 11
Just modify ISNUM() with HB_ISNUM() call (fixed for next build)
Please look at properties details of the EXE. There is no company name property.
Dear Enrico,
This is what I get on Windows 11:
It seems as "Legal trademarks" is the name of the company

No, it should be CompanyName.

CompanyName Empresa que produziu o arquivo , por exemplo, Microsoft Corporation ou Standard Microsystems Corporation, Inc. Essa cadeia de caracteres é necessária.
LegalTrademarks Marcas comerciais e marcas registradas que se aplicam ao arquivo. Isso deve incluir o texto completo de todos os avisos, símbolos legais, números de marca e assim por diante. Essa cadeia de caracteres é opcional.

Yes, this is exactly the problem: the CompanyName field is not displayed anymore (it was few months ago).

If you hover over the .exe with your mouse you do the the Company name ... etc .. but not when you look at the properties of the .exe ..

Please look at the startup applications tab in the Task Manager of Windows 11. The Author's name is displayed only for the apps and not for the desktop programs anymore. It was few months ago, I am sure.
