Compiler ToolTip
Post by Icon Tooltip on Jun 5th, 2012, 8:10pm

I noticed that sometimes when I complie a Liberty BASIC program and I specify a custom icon, the resulting .exe icon includes:
LB Booster
R.T.Russell

And sometimes it doesn't.

What is the rule for including the text or leaving it out?

LBB compiled EXEs always contain a VERSIONINFO resource containing those strings, in order to reduce the likelihood of virus scanners flagging a false virus alert (the absence of a VERSIONINFO resource is considered by many virus scanners to be suspicious).

Changing the icon won't affect whether the strings are present, but may well move the VERSIONINFO resource, so maybe whatever method you are using to see those strings is being confused.

If you prefer, you can edit the VERSIONINFO resource to contain whatever you want, using the free VerPatch utility.
