How to rename QtWebEngineProcess.exe and make it work?

[Peal Wang]

I want to rename QtWebEngineProcess.exe to something more relevant to my project, such as MyProjectBrowser.exe. However, after renaming it, the web engine process fails to start.
What should I do to make it work after renaming the executable?
This is my code:

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  QString web_engine_process_path;
  {
    wchar_t module_path[MAX_PATH];
    DWORD result = GetModuleFileName(NULL, module_path, MAX_PATH);
    if (result > 0 && result < MAX_PATH) {
      QString current_exe_path = QString::fromWCharArray(module_path);
      QFileInfo exe_info(current_exe_path);
      QString exe_dir = exe_info.absolutePath();
      web_engine_process_path = QString("%1/%2").arg(exe_dir, "MyProjectBrowser.exe");
      web_engine_process_path = QDir::toNativeSeparators(web_engine_process_path);
    }
  }
  qputenv("QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH", web_engine_process_path.toUtf8());

  QApplication app(argc, argv);

  {
    QFileInfo web_engine_process_file(web_engine_process_path);
    if (!web_engine_process_file.exists()) {
      return -1;
    }
  }

  int ret = 0;
  {
    QWebEngineView view;
    view.setUrl(QUrl("https://www.qt.io/"));
    view.show();

    ret = app.exec();
  }

  return ret;
}

QT version is 6.7.3

Recompile QtWebEngine with the name you want set in the cmake variable 'qtWebEngineProcessName'

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/src/core/web_engine_context.cpp#n1233
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/src/core/api/CMakeLists.txt#n7

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you, I compiled the source code as you said, it works
