AIR Application properties

Question

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

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

</description>

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

+1Exe 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:A batch file parses the app descriptor and retrieves the meta informationInformation are injected into an .rc file template (Find And Replace Text: fart.exe).rc file gets converted to a .res file (Go Ressource Compiler: GoRC.exe).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.(Related request: Adding properties/details to exe files from app descriptor)
