After my application installation is completed executable file does not contain any details in properties. There is only Type Application presents in Property->Details

I think, it would be great to add there all needed informaion from application.xml

    <versionNumber>15.05.07</versionNumber>

    <versionLabel>15.05.07</versionLabel>

    <description>

        <text xml:lang="en">Application description.</text>

    </description>

    <copyright>Copyright (c) 2015 My App</copyright>

not only for installation package, but also for runnable application. Is there any way to do that?

    Exe files should get the version information from the app descriptor along with other meta data (copyright, product name, ...).

    Currently, we are using a series of batch files to inject all this meta information to exe files in an automated build process:

    1. A batch file parses the app descriptor and retrieves the meta information
    2. Information are injected into an .rc file template (Find And Replace Text: fart.exe)
    3. .rc file gets converted to a .res file (Go Ressource Compiler: GoRC.exe)
    4. .res file is applied to the exe file (Ressource Hacker: ResHacker.exe). AIR app was previously build by adt and bundled with mxmlc.

    CI Server is using Jenkins to execute the batch files.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the request.  Is there a related bug number (https://bugbase.adobe.com) that I can reference and track?  If not, it would be great to get one and have people vote/comment for it.

    Thanks,

    Chris
