Re-branding wupdate.exe

[shares]

I have AVG anti virus installed, which pops up when wupdate.exe gets called. The info provided by AVG shows wupdate as a Lindersoft product, which might raise an eyebrow by some.

I suspect other internet security products will show the same kind of information.

How can I re-brand wupdate to be from my company name?
Thanks

Hello,

The wupdate.sb6 source code is located in the \Redist\1033 folder.

Does this help?

By the way, I would suggest to hold the standard and your own wupdate.exe in different locations. Otherwise, the next SetupBuilder web update will overwrite your custom wupdate.exe.

The following line in your installation project adds the web update client to the installer:

Include Web Update Client "[SB_LIB]\wupdate.exe"

For your custom wupdate.exe, use something like (depends on the location of your own wupdate.exe)

Include Web Update Client "[SB_LIB]\custom\wupdate.exe"

HTH,
Friedrich

There doesn't seem to be a way to change the MSI-Summary/Author which is the only place I can find that read 'Lindersoft'

Hello,

Hmm, MSI is an exclusive SetupBuilder 7 feature, so why do you have to change the disabled "MSI Summary". Information from the MSI Summury does not make it into the compiled .exe.
