For my CheckRide remote control/end user screen sharing program, I wanted to be able to let admins create a personalized copy that connects to their own server, so I had the same problem.
Although FPC does provide functions to modify resources on Windows, I didn't have much luck with it. Perhaps the situation has improved since I last tried, it - haven't looked. I turned to what Mark suggested: just slapping on some (zipped) extra data after the exe. And yes, this messes with signing the executable etc. If you want to investigate this path, have a look at https://bitbucket.org/reiniero/checkride/src Source CheckRideResourceZipper.lpi (which is used to create the "unbranded", standard resources in the build process) CheckRideHelper.lpi (which demonstrates stamping/branding the resources) CheckRide.lpi (which demonstrates unpacking and using the resources) they all use the poormansresource.pas file _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
