A checksum of a file is a Hash using MD5. Download my BCrypt example and look at the 'Hash a File' button.

A checksum is generated by a program that reads your program and outputs the checksum string. It isn't made part of your program.

When someone downloads your program, they can run a checksum on it and if it matches the checksum you generated they are assured that they have a valid file.

Thanks a lot for the answer.I already have a program that checks the checksum on the pbds but for that exe file needs to be same. If anyone changes the exe(content or the name) it wont checks the checksum. Looking for a solution for the same. But i guess it has nothing to do with PowerBuilder. So thanks a lot for the help
