Version Info

[TimStone]

At one point this was working. Now it is not. I see there were some posts on updates. What was the final verdict.

I have this code in my .rc file. It no longer shows the results in properties.

I think we are referring to two different things.

I posted about the info we could display in properties of an executable.

do you mean this

[TimStone]

Yes. A while back Antonio posted code that set it up, and it worked, but now it doesn't.

My code was derived from that original post.

i had the Problem with 64 Bit App while 32 Bit App show it
so i compare *.RC with HMG and Xbase++ and found different Setting

this seems to work under 64 Bit and 32 Bit under Fivewin

After consulting a lot of online articles, and making modifications accordingly, I finally got the version info to work properly in both 32 bit and 64 bit applications.

I am using FWH 12.06, Harbour, and Visual Studio 2022.

Here is the code placed in my .rc file that actually has worked:

1 VERSIONINFO
 FILEVERSION 12,3,0,0
 PRODUCTVERSION 12,3, 0, 0
 FILEFLAGS 0x00000001
 FILEFLAGSMASK 0x0000003F
 FILEOS 0x00040000 
 FILETYPE 0x1
 FILESUBTYPE 0x040
 BEGIN
    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        BLOCK "040904B0"
        BEGIN
            VALUE "CompanyName", "MasterLink Software SBS"
            VALUE "FileDescription", "Shop Service Writer"
            VALUE "FileVersion", "12.30.0.0"
            VALUE "InternalName", "MLS12.exe"
            VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (C) MasterLinkSoftware 1982-2023"
            VALUE "OriginalFilename", "MLS12.exe"
            VALUE "ProductName", "<Service Shop Writer>"
            VALUE "ProductVersion", "12.30.0.0"
        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        VALUE "Translation", 0x0409, 1200
    END
 END

 

According to several references, there is no value for a 64 bit OS, so using the value for NT will work.

Some of the discrepancies I found had to do with the values before the BLOCK CODE. Those are fixed values and may have changed from earlier versions of VC and Windows.
