I wonder if there are characters that I should NOT use in the VERSIONINFO. Such that potentially will cause problems down the road. 

    VALUE "CompanyName", "Company Name"
    VALUE "FileDescription", "File Description"
    VALUE "FileVersion", "2.0.0.5"
    VALUE "InternalName", "name.exe"
    VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Legal Copyright"
    VALUE "OriginalFilename", "Original File name"
    VALUE "ProductName", "Product Name"
    VALUE "ProductVersion", "2.0.0.5"

More info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058(v=vs.85).aspx

I assume that it is the 'other' app responsibility to consume the strings correctly. I am asking to be on the safe side as this change will affect many files.

Need additional information? Just let me know

Thank you!

  • I don't know of any limit. As documentation shows a lot of language settings and charsets are possible, so what problems do you expect? Go ahead, change it (and test it)! – Werner Henze Dec 04 '14 at 16:13
  • Dev & test is a given. As mentioned above, I do not expect issues. I am asking to be on the safe side as this change will affect many files. I want to make sure I did not overlooked something. – Rotem Varon Dec 04 '14 at 17:41
