GetFileDescription fails to retrieve application name when manifest is set for unicode

[Julien Maille]

Hello,

I recently changed my resources.rc from

VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1252

to

VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1200

and since then GetFileDescription() fails to work.

Is that a known limitation?

Thanks in advance

Are you using the same charset in your StringFileInfo resource block?
It will only look up the matching values.
