How to add version information to the output of Visual Studio

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/284258/how-do-i-set-the-version-information-for-an-existing-exe-dll

First add a version.h header file to the project

#ifndef VERSION_H

#define VERSION_H



#define VER_FILEVERSION 0,3,0,0

#define VER_FILEVERSION_STR "0.3.0.0"



#define VER_PRODUCTVERSION 0,3,0,0

#define VER_PRODUCTVERSION_STR "0.3.0.0"



#define VER_COMPANYNAME_STR "IPanera"

#define VER_FILEDESCRIPTION_STR "Localiza archivos duplicados"

#define VER_INTERNALNAME_STR "MyProject"

#define VER_LEGALCOPYRIGHT_STR "Copyright 2016 [emailprotected]"

#define VER_LEGALTRADEMARKS1_STR "All Rights Reserved"

#define VER_LEGALTRADEMARKS2_STR VER_LEGALTRADEMARKS1_STR

#define VER_ORIGINALFILENAME_STR "MyProject.exe"

#define VER_PRODUCTNAME_STR "My project"



#define VER_COMPANYDOMAIN_STR "www.myurl.com"



#endif // VERSION_H

Go to proj.rc and create a Version (Add Resource)

Open proj.rc with a text editor

Make the following modifications

#include 

#include "version.h"
