cc'ing Mark Dootson on this, because I think the problem is in
Win32::Exe (or how we generate the prototypical packed executable,
i.e. PAR-Packer/myldr/boot.exe)

Yeah, turns out there's no test for "pp --info ..." :(

I did some experiments using Win32::Exe's exe_update:
exe_update --info ProductVersion=44.1 packed.exe
seems to work (can see 44.1 in Windows Explorer, packed.exe runs fine),
exe_update --info ProductName="inglorious basterds" packed.exe
seems to corrupt the executable (Explorer doesn't even show
a "Version" tab, executing packed.exe results in "can't execute" error).
If I try this with some random executable, it works as expected.
Note: My experiments were done on (32-bit) XP.
Cheers, Roderich
