Question

Answer 1

You have to have one VS_VERSION_INFO section in your resource (*.rc) file(s) that compile into your project.

In the Visual Studio 2005 Solution Explorer, open the context menu on your C++ project and choose Add, Resource.

Mark Version and click "New".

Fill in the fields as desired and save the file.

Build.

Now your project output has a FileInfo resource.

Please be aware that Windows Vista does not show all available version info in the Explorer context menu's "Details" tab.
