Hello Simon,

Changing the name of the exe as-is would require engine code edits, as the binary generation will be looking for that name. There’s a [thread here](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/change-the-details-of-a-games-shipping-executable/455748) that goes over a similar situation, where the solution gives a bit more info on this.

When I package a fresh project, the BootstrapPackagedGame exe is named my project name. When you package yours, does it appear as “bootstrappackagedgame-win64-shipping.exe”?

There is a NoBootstrapExe command that can be set to true, would that be a viable option?

Thanks,

Kyle B.
