Thought I'd share this tip. I've seen on many google search results people want to change their MSI Factory exe file to show "Original filename" in the Details tab of the exe something other than setup.exe.
MSI Factory doesn't allow this to change, even if you change some internal files, it won't change the final exe.
To do this, follow these simple steps:
Create a .rc file (see attached file samplerc.zip).
Modify the file to match your software.
Compile the .rc file to a .res file with the rc.exe command: rc.exe /r resources.rc
Download ******** ****** (https://www.angusj.com/**************/)
After the exe is built, run ******** ****** as follows: **************.exe -open myownsetup.exe -save myownsetup.exe -action addoverwrite -resource resources.res
This will then use the .res file you compiled and update the exe. The -open and -save can be the same file.
I think you have to run **************.exe before signing the exe, at least that's what I do.
Hope this helps someone.
