The StripVersionInfo parameter determines whether to remove all version information from the source executable file when ThinApp builds the application.

The source executable file is the file listed in the Source parameter. The version information for executable files appears in Windows properties. Properties information includes the copyright, trademark, and version number. The StripVersionInfo parameter can remove the Version tab of Windows properties.

ThinApp sets an initial value of the StripVersionInfo parameter that copies all version information from the source executable file.

Generating an Application Without Version Information

In rare cases, you might modify the StripVersionInfo parameter to generate an application without version information. For example, you might want to circumvent version detection scans that compare versions against a database of outdated software.

[app.exe]
Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\myapp\app.exe
StripVersionInfo=1
