node-rcedit

Node module to edit resources of Windows executables.

Requirements

On platforms other than Windows, you will need to have Wine 1.6 or later installed and in the system path.

Note

Under the hood, this package relies on the electron/rcedit binary to perform operations. A vendored executable is in the /bin/ folder of the source code. The latest version of this package uses rcedit@2.0.0.

• version-string - An object containing properties to change the exePath's version string.
