Is there a way to find the computer from which is released a desktop app (.exe)?


Starting from a .exe file is it possible to find the computer that compiled that application? In this particular case with Visual Studio 2013


Solution

  • Not out of the box. You could deliberately support this with a pre-build action that embeds some kind of identifier into the assembly information. It is possible to pull identifying information out of the hardware, or you could use the computer name which though less stable is certainly a lot more human readable.
