Dear Damiano,

You have to add this section into your RC file:

Code: Select all  Expand view

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
 FILEVERSION 1,0,0,1
 PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,1
 FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
#ifdef _DEBUG
 FILEFLAGS 0x1L
#else
 FILEFLAGS 0x0L
#endif
 FILEOS 0x40004L
 FILETYPE 0x1L
 FILESUBTYPE 0x0L
BEGIN
    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        BLOCK "0c0a04b0"
        BEGIN
            VALUE "CompanyName", "FiveTech Software SL"
            VALUE "FileDescription", "FWH app test"
            VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0.1"
            VALUE "InternalName", "WindowsP.exe"
            VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (C) FIveTech Software SL 2022"
            VALUE "OriginalFilename", "WindowsP.exe"
            VALUE "ProductName", "TODO: <Product name>"
            VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0.0.1"
        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        VALUE "Translation", 0xc0a, 1200
    END
END
 

The simplest way to do it is to open your RC file using Visual Studio Community 2022, then you add a "version" component and easily edit it from Visual Studio Community

Thank you. This is nice.

For other languages, check the Translation codes. English is 0x09.

Been using this Version.Rc file .. lots of similarities .. but I have to use Notepad to edit but it still serves the purpose
