Verpatch.exe error

Question

I am trying to add new version resource string to .exe file using verpatch.

I need to add new sting to version resource as I am creating test connector to Qlikview. For QlikView and Qlik Sense to be able to recognize an .exe file as a connector, the file version information resource must include the property “QlikView Connector”.

I am developing my connector with Visual Studio and this command is run as a post build command and build ends with error. I also tried to run it from command line with same result:

C:\verpatch>verpatch.exe C:\QV_temp\QVTestConnector.exe /s "QlikView Connector" "Qv Test Connector" Exception in ParseBinaryVersionResource Error in ParseBinaryVersionResource error parsing version info from the file Some of actions failed, exiting

I have also tried different versions on verpatch.exe. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The example that Qlik gives on their documentation does not seem to work with the version of verpatch.exe that ships with QVX SDK 2.1.

I resolved this error by updating to a newer version from CodePlex.

Edit: verpatch seems to have moved to https://github.com/pavel-a/ddverpatch/releases
