Compile VB6 Projects and File version

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hi

 

Im using the Compile VB6 project action, and using a VB Version Property set.

 When the exe is compiled and i use the property set to assign the verison number the fileversion of the exe results in

Majorversion.Minorverison.0.Releaseversion

But the Fileverison in the FileInformation results in Majorversion.Minorverison.Releaseversion  ( although it is padded to couple of zeros)

Is this a fault?  What results is that the "File Version" of the exe never matchs File Version information ?

Is there a work around as there is no way to set the fileverison via scripting.

 

regards

Hi Ian,

I think this is how VB6 is supposed to work. I created a new VB project, set version info to Major: 1, Minor: 2, and Release: 3, and then did a File | Make, the version info that Windows reported was:
File Version (at top of properties): 1.2.0.3
File Version and Product Version (in the Other version information section): 1.02.0003

cheers,
tate.

Thats what im talking about.

Why do they not have revision number as the 3 number as per the order in the project properties? Or at least show a “0” that you cant edit.

Go figure! Maybe there is something on MS website /resource compiler.

ill post back if i find something
