Cannot set Version info nor Icons

[alogrep 0]

HI.

Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this strange behaviour?

I am trying to set version info (see m1.jpg) and I get the  mysterious message

shown in m2.jpg ('....... only contain 2,3, or 4 numbers....???).

Thanks.

Your screenshot is cut off - it does not actually show the ProductVersion value (further down)

try this:

1. the version number will be changed (automatically or not) when you "BUILD" the project, (or manually), then...
   1. Project->Options-> use RELEASE option
   2. do the changes necessary, like define your start values on "Module version number"
   3. use "Auto increment build number" -- dont worry about anymore!
2. now, "BUILD" your project and see the changes!
3. anyhing, try "delete" the "xxxxxx.DPROJ" if any inconsistence -> remeber that your old setup will be losted, of course!

When I'm having troube with Version Info 99% the time I have to delete the dproj and recreate it.

I did not bother yet to find out why but I suspect the "Cfg_X" stuff is getting messed up.

other way, hard-coded can this way - no more Project->Options it's necessary:

1. create a file any name with .RC extension and add it your project
2. now, just BUILD your project!

 

NOTE: you can create a "RC" to share with all project, and a "RC" specific to one project using vars in shared-RC, just "include it" ->  #include "sharedversiondefs.rc"

//
//  RC file script
//
#define VER_MAJ 1
#define VER_MIN 2
#define VER_SUB 3
#define VER_BUILD 4000

#define VER_P_MAJ 5
#define VER_P_MIN 6
#define VER_P_SUB 7
#define VER_P_BUILD 8000
