VERSION INFO

[FlySky]

Hey Guys,

I can't seem to get version info working for a dll.

It's a copy off the examples from MASM and based on hutch version of ttbar.

Compiling and linking with FILETYPE VFT_APP it works fine on a .exe
but somehow when compiling and linking like it is shown below the information is empty.

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
FILEOS 0
FILETYPE VFT_DLL
BEGIN
  BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
  BEGIN
    BLOCK "040904B0"
    BEGIN
      VALUE "CompanyName",      "The MASM32 SDK\000"
      VALUE "FileDescription",  "Text Toolbar Demo\000"
      VALUE "FileVersion",      "2.0\000"
      VALUE "InternalName",     "ttbar\000"
      VALUE "OriginalFilename", "ttbar.exe\000"
      VALUE "LegalCopyright",   "\251 1998-2011 The MASM32 SDK\000"
      VALUE "ProductName",      "ttbar\000"
      VALUE "ProductVersion",   "2.0\000"
    END
  END
  BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
  BEGIN
    VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 0x4B0
  END
END

Can anyone explain to me what I am missing here.

it may be that you are missing the resource.h include file
it may also be that you use 0 for FILEOS   :P

older versions of the file were missing a few of the constants
this will work with old or new
you can add the other values inside the block, if you like
"\251" is the copyright symbol

I've got it working.
It was a very stupid linker mistake on my end. I wasn't linking the resource properly  :icon_redface:
