How it's done in FPC I don't know, but in other language tools I use, it requires a resource file with spefic information in it.  I can never remember all the details, so I have to keep a template resource file around with the required information in it, and change it for each program  work on.

In general I don't bother with the resource file during testing, but when I release a full version, I apply the resource file to the executable, and that usually takes care of the issue.

I've also noticed that if you have any timing routines in your code, it tends to get flagged by virus scanners.  No clue why, but I've run afoul of that issue more than once.

Are signed executables subject to anti-virus inspection?
