EXE/DLL Options Tab (Advanced Properties Dialog Box)

  • Article

   

Defines the options for COM DLL and Windows EXE packages.

With the EXE/DLL Options Tab of the Advanced Properties dialog box you can:

  • Specify the version of the COM DLL or Windows EXE package you are creating.

  • Specify the base DLL address for COM DLLs.

  • Enter product, company, and file information that can be viewed by a user.

Options

Version Number

Allows you to define the version information for the Windows EXE or COM DLL you are creating. Three text boxes are provided for defining the Major, Minor, and Revision numbers of the version. This information can be viewed from within Windows by the user to determine the version of the Windows EXE or COM DLL they are currently running.

Preview

A preview of what the version information will look like based on the numbers entered in the Major, Minor, and Revision text boxes.

DLL Base Address

A text box that allows you to specify the base memory address where the COM DLL will be loaded. This text box is only displayed when you are creating a COM DLL package. Specifying a base address for your COM DLL is not required; however, by specifying a base address, you can avoid using the same memory location as other DLL's in memory. This will cause the load time of your COM DLL to be faster.

Type

A list box that allows you to select the type of information to add or modify for the Windows EXE or COM DLL you are creating. The Value text box allows you to define a string value for each selected item in the list.

Value

A multi-line text box that allows you to specify a string value for the currently selected information type in the Type list box.
