Delphi 2007 VCL Project Name Different from Compiled Exe Name?

Question

Is there a way to have a Project named "SomeProject" that creates an EXE named "SomethingDifferent.exe"? In .net it is simple to have your project name be independent of your generated Assembly name, but I don't see how to do the equivalent in Delphi 2007.

Answer 1

You can use MSbuild with the Post-build event

for example you can create a copy of your exe with the name which you want using a command like this

DEL  "$(OUTPUTDIR)SomethingDifferent.Exe"
COPY "$(OUTPUTDIR)$(OUTPUTFILENAME)" "$(OUTPUTDIR)SomethingDifferent.Exe"
