In file properties window (in Windows) most applications have "Version" tab featuring general info such as application name, version and copyright. How do you add such info to a program using MSVC 2005? I bet it's something simple, like just one tab in properties that I'm missing. Thanks!

you just need to add a resource file with a version resource.

Right click on the project in MSVC and click add -> Resource and choose Version from the dialog and thats basically it :)

Hmm... it seems Resource editing isn't allowed in "Express" edition, so I'll have to do it manually through notepad. Can you post some resource file that shows how it's done?

Thanks again!
