Properties of the generated .exe file

Hi to Everybody
A small problem ...
When I right-click the .exe file generated and click properties....
I have a tab with "details".
Inside that I can found a lot of informations like "version info", "product name", "Copyright" "Language" ... etc.
How can I set these values ?
I look for .rc files... but I was'nt able to obtain something.
Is it there somebody who knows how to ?
Thank you to all
Vieri

Hi
you have to add a rc file like this
Code: Select all
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 0,2,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 0,1,0,0
FILEOS 0x00000004
FILETYPE 0x00000001
BEGIN
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
BEGIN
BLOCK "040904b0"
BEGIN
VALUE "FileDescription", "bla bla bla\0"
VALUE "FileVersion", "0,2,0,0 \0"
VALUE "InternalName", "dsfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdg\0"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "your name\0"
VALUE "LegalTrademarks", "mi trade mark\0"
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "\0"
VALUE "CompanyName", "my company\0"
VALUE "ProductName", "\0"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "0,1,0,0\0"
VALUE "Comments", "xxxxx@yahoo.com\0"
END
END
BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
BEGIN
VALUE "Translation", 0x0409 0x04B0
END
END

Carlos,
This gives compile errors when I add it to my existing RC file.
The error says:
_temp.rc:3:0: fatal error: when writing output to : Invalid argument
compilation terminated.
windres: _temp.rc:71: syntax error
windres: preprocessing failed.
Any idea what's wrong?
Greetings, Serge

For me, the following lines in the rc file doesn't give any error. But no details is shown.
Code: Select all
VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 0,0,0,2
PRODUCTVERSION 0,0,0,2
FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
#ifdef _DEBUG
FILEFLAGS 0x1L
#else
FILEFLAGS 0x0L
#endif
FILEOS 0x4L
FILETYPE 0x1L
FILESUBTYPE 0x0L
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "080904b0"
{
VALUE "Comments", "comment"
VALUE "CompanyName", "comment"
VALUE "FileDescription", "base file"
VALUE "FileVersion", "0.0.0.2 TP"
VALUE "InternalName", "testTP"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "none"
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "test.exe"
VALUE "ProductName", "test"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "0.0.0.2 TP"
}
}
}

In this
HMG Wishlist message Grigory says "problem with MinGW resource manager".
Is indicating to use ResHaker utility to edit VERSIONINFO.
