Change Version Information

This feature allows you to change the version information of a Windows executable. You can set properties like ProductName, FileDescription, and CompanyName.

const rcedit = require('rcedit');

rcedit('path/to/executable.exe', {
  'version-string': {
    'ProductName': 'MyApp',
    'FileDescription': 'My Application Description',
    'CompanyName': 'My Company'
  }
}, function (error) {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Failed to edit executable:', error);
  } else {
    console.log('Executable edited successfully');
  }
});

Change Icon

This feature allows you to change the icon of a Windows executable. You need to provide the path to the new icon file.

const rcedit = require('rcedit');

rcedit('path/to/executable.exe', {
  'icon': 'path/to/icon.ico'
}, function (error) {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Failed to edit executable:', error);
  } else {
    console.log('Executable edited successfully');
  }
});

Set Requested Execution Level

This feature allows you to set the requested execution level of a Windows executable. For example, you can set it to 'requireAdministrator' to request administrative privileges.

const rcedit = require('rcedit');

rcedit('path/to/executable.exe', {
  'requested-execution-level': 'requireAdministrator'
}, function (error) {
  if (error) {
    console.error('Failed to edit executable:', error);
  } else {
    console.log('Executable edited successfully');
