How to Change, Update or Delete the Version Information

Resource Tuner lets you visually edit, update or delete the Version Information: version numbers, vendor information (copyrights, trademarks, origins), product name and original file name. This information is displayed on the version tab of the EXE file property sheet dialog displayed by selecting the "properties" item from the right mouse button context menu in Windows Explorer.

Edit the Version Information and change the file properties for a .exe file

1. Expand the Version folder that’s found in the Resource Tree view, and select the version info resource item to be edited in the Resource Tree view.

2. Open the version info for editing using the Resource Editor button or the popup menu which is displayed by right-clicking the Resource Tree. Or simply double-click the resource item directly.
