Ever since updating FB4 to 4.1.0.199 I cannot compile any of my Delphi2006 win32projects. I can compile it in the IDE with no problem. All I get inthe FB log is:
--------------------------------------
Running Borland Resource compiler…
Borland Resource Compiler Version 5.40

Error Update.rc 4 16: Expecting BEGIN
--------------------------------------
I have tracked it down to the fact that I use letters in the “ProductVersion” section of the version information screen. (eg. BRG). It had worked in previous versions of FB4. (And it does work in the Delphi 2006 IDE).
I cannot seem to attach the .rc file that FB4 generates so I have pasted it here. It gives the same error when run through brcc32.exe.

If it is possible to get this working again for the next release, I would appreciate this as our auto-updating tools rely on this information.
Thanks
