node-rcedit

Node module to edit resources of Windows executables.

Requirements

On platforms other than Windows, you will need to have Wine 1.6 or later installed and in the system path.

[!NOTE] Under the hood, this package relies on the electron/rcedit binary to perform operations. A vendored executable is in the /bin/ folder of the source code. The latest version of this package uses `rcedit@2.0.0`.

Usage

import { rcedit } from 'rcedit'

async rcedit(exePath, options)

options is an object that can contain following fields:

• version-string - An object containing properties to change the exePath's version string.
• file-version - File's version to change to.
• product-version - Product's version to change to.
• icon - Path to the icon file (.ico) to set as the exePath's default icon.
• requested-execution-level - Requested execution level to change to, must be either asInvoker, highestAvailable, or requireAdministrator. See requestedExecutionLevel for more details.
• application-manifest - String path to a local manifest file to use. See Application manifest for more details.
