Hi,

How can I specify customized display name to installed build?  
I want to name to ‘Binary build at LOCALBUILDS\_PATH’. in Unreal Engine version switcher.

![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/0/0/1004ca17767fd999fe273f2143903a19afaaf2fa.png)

I tried to change name in Engine\Build\Build.version.  
Any ways to change this displayed name?

Thank you.

It took me nearly 8 years….

Enter Registry by typing: regedit in Windows Menu or in Windows+R

Go to: Computer\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Epic Games\Unreal Engine\Builds

change Engine Association like {184A0552-4854-919D-C57C-75B89AA1BE0A} to whatever you want to, but then edit YourProjectName.uproject (not shortcut) in notepad and look for “EngineAssociation”:  
Then change for example my above {184A0552-4854-919D-C57C-75B89AA1BE0A} to for example “5.6”.  
or run every .uproject that used this version and select your newly edited name  
Done.

I’m glad it took me about an hour during the last MegaJam 🤣  
We used the Nvidia branch of UE5 and every user on git was having a different engine association so I tried to rename that key to UE\_Nvidia and luckily it worked!
