How can i change the attributes of a .exe file?

[MoJoMax]

I need to change not just the time stamp

but also the copyright and the legal trademark...

I made the program myself but for some reason can't edit that so i would like to add

it myself externally thanks!

Why would you need to change the Copyright and Legal Trademark of a file?

If you made the program yourself, then edit those properties in whatever IDE you're using and recompile.

Which IDE and language are you using? There's probably some manifest or similar you need to edit.

Looks like the program is limiting your ability to change those (maybe a Pro feature?)

Yep, it's a (discontinued) free edition, so it seems normal that they don't allow to change that. Maybe it was possible with some older version though.

I'm not gonna sell this program or anything i just want to make look more formal.

I just want to hide any relation to it.

Btw i would also like to know how to sign my program to make it less suspicious for users that might think it's a virus or something crazy like that..

beacuse there is a feature in the program to sign my executable with a external program:  SignTool.exe or

SignCode.exe

You need a code signing certificate for that, which you can purchase from a CA and is usually valid for 1–3 years. I'm pretty sure that would also require a paid version of AutoPlay, if it supports that feature.

Theres software like PE Explorer and others which can modify resources and version info so go with that. Should work unless Autoplay Media Studio somehow put protections on the assembly in question. As for signing the program I think it involves buying a certificate to sign it with (its not cheap).

Attribute changer looks like its limited to simple file attributes like dates, file flags and other small things. Try PE Explorer.

So it's a sfx archive (executable portable zip) with a password. Theres the protection, you're out of luck there I'd say.

This is what i edited in PE explorer (i could not find the rest copyright, and legal trademarks..)

:

 

So i saved everything but trying to open the modified .exe

 i get an error saying: The application failed to start beacuse the side-by-side configuration file is incorrect.

Please see the application event log or use the command-line systrace.exe tool for more detail/

[MoJoMax]

ok i was able to find the rest..

[MoJoMax]

Thanks for your help i was able to change it now :)
