How to change the version information of. Build and release management To change the.exe file version.

As part of our build process I need to set the version information for all of our compiled binaries. Some of the binaries already have version information (added at compile time) and some do not. I want to be able to apply the following information: • Company Name • Copyright Notice • Product Name • Product Description • File Version • Product Version All of these attributes are specified by the build script and must be applied after compilation. These are standard binaries (not assemblies) compiled with C++ Builder 2007. How can I do this? There is this tool [1] List of features (from the website): • command line interface • support for.EXE,.DLL and.RES files • update FileVersion and ProductVersion based on a version mask • add/change/remove version key strings • adjust file flags (debug, special, private etc) • update project files (.bdsproj .bpr .bpk .dproj ) • add/change main application icon • use ini file with configuration • Windows Vista support (needs elevation) • easy to integrate into a continuous build environment Full Disclosure: I know the guy who wrote this tool, I used to work with him.

But this also means that I know he makes quality software;) [1] the link is dead. There seems to be mirrored version.

I'm doing it with no additional tool. I have just added the following files to my Win32 app project. One header file which defines some constants than we can reuse on our resource file and even on the program code. We only need to maintain one file.

Thanks to the Qt team that showed me how to do it on a Qt project, it now also works on my Win32 app.
