Hi All,
I am trying to update the version info for a dll. I am trying to use the Win32 Version Info Updater command. I point to my resource file, but the property set and the properties to update don't allow me to select anything. What am I doing wrong? I've looked at the help but it isn't helpful.
Thanks.

Hi Mark
Are you pointing it to a .rc file which has a version info record?
One possibility is if your version info record is inside an ifdef, the parser does not handle this and it has no way of knowing about defines. Does the .rc file get updated at all?

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for replying. I'll attach my resource file. Maybe you can determine the problem from this?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
Looks like the html editor garbled the file… I reconstructed it and tested the updater and it worked fine. I just re-read your original post and I don’t think it has anything to do with the rc file itself, but rather the property set. On the propertyset define action, make sure the propertyset type is set to Win32 Version Info.

Thanks Vincent! That was what I was missing.
