I am using FinalBuilder v6.0.0.534.&nbsp; One of my VC6 projects contains a space in the name (MedGraph GX.dsp).&nbsp; When I build this project the version information is not updated in the rc file (Use property set for version info).&nbsp; I created two simple test projects - one with a space and one without (Test GX and TestGX).&nbsp; I'm able to reproduce the behavior with the Test GX project:

Calling msdev.exe with cmd line : "Test GX.dsp" /MAKE "Test GX - "  
--------------------Configuration: Test GX - Win32 Debug--------------------

Test GX.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)  
--------------------Configuration: Test GX - Win32 Release--------------------

Test GX.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

While the TestGX project has its version information updated correctly:

&nbsp;

Calling msdev.exe with cmd line : "TestGX.dsp" /MAKE "TestGX - Win32 Release"  
--------------------Configuration: TestGX - Win32 Release--------------------  
Compiling resources...  
Linking...  
TestGX.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

As you can see above the configuration information is missing from the msdev command line as a result of the space in the project name.&nbsp; The obvious solution is to remove the space from the project name - this would cause much pain.&nbsp; Is there another way.

Thanks

Thor

Hi Thor,   
  
Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce it, it seems like the bug is actually caused by a space in the .RC file name.   
  
Here's a FinalBuilder test build with the fix:   
  
[https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/600/FB600\_569.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/600/FB600_569.exe)   
  
Please let us know if this fixes the problem.   
  
Regards,   
  
Angus
