VERSIONINFO Resource

VERSIONINFO Resource

Defines a version-information resource. The resource contains such information about the file as its version number, its intended operating system, and its original filename. The resource is intended to be used with theVersion Information functions.

There are two ways to format a VERSIONINFO statement:

versionID VERSIONINFO fixed-info  { block-statement . . . }

- or -

versionID VERSIONINFO 
fixed-info
BEGIN
block-statement
. . .
END

Parameters

versionID

Version-information resource identifier. This value must be 1.

fixed-info

Version information, such as the file version and the intended operating system. This parameter consists of the following statements.

Statement	Description
FILEVERSIONversion	Binary version number for the file. The version consists of two 32-bit integers, defined by four 16-bit integers. For example, "FILEVERSION 3,10,0,61" is translated into two doublewords: 0x0003000a and 0x0000003d, in that order. Therefore, if version is defined by the DWORD values dw1 and dw2, they need to appear in the FILEVERSION statement as follows: HIWORD(dw1),LOWORD(dw1),HIWORD(dw2), LOWORD(dw2).
PRODUCTVERSIONversion	Binary version number for the product with which the file is distributed. The version parameter is two 32-bit integers, defined by four 16-bit integers. For more information about version, see the FILEVERSION description.
FILEFLAGSMASKfileflagsmask	Bits in the FILEFLAGS statement are valid. If a bit is set, the corresponding bit in FILEFLAGS is valid.
FILEFLAGS fileflags	Attributes of the file. The fileflags parameter must be the combination of all the file flags that are valid at compile time. For 16-bit Windows, this value is 0x3f.
FILEOS fileos	Operating system for which this file was designed. The fileos parameter can be one of the operating system values given in the Remarks section.
FILETYPE filetype	General type of file. The filetype parameter can be one of the file type values listed in the Remarks section.
FILESUBTYPEsubtype	Function of the file. The subtype parameter is zero unless the filetype parameter in the FILETYPE statement is VFT_DRV, VFT_FONT, or VFT_VXD. For a list of file subtype values, see the Remarks section.

block-statement

Specifies one or more version-information blocks. A block can contain string information or variable information. For more information, see StringFileInfo Block or VarFileInfo Block.

Remarks

To use the constants specified with the VERSIONINFO statement, you must include the Winver.h or Windows.h header file in the resource-definition file.
