Productversion always 3.3.12.0

[MilesAhead]

Not earth shaking but I noticed that when I compile with version info the file version is as I set it but the productversion always reports 3.3.12.0.  I assume this is because it is getting the version of autoit, not my program.

 

I tried to search as I thought this was reported before.  But I got no hits.

How are you trying to change the version info?

Can you show the directives and SciTE output info generated by F7/Compile?

Sure thing:

Try this one instead of what you have:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_ProductVersion=1.01

That works for showing the Product version in Explorer Properties Details Tab.  However when looking in the compile dialog Resources Tab it shows no Productversion line.  Just Productname.

 

[Jos]

Not 100% sure any more, but things changed since WinXP as far as I remember.

The Productname is shown because you have this statement which will that to the resources:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Productname|ds

Ok, in the first instance in the compile dialog it shows both productname and productversion, but in Explorer productversion is always 3.3.12.0.  The directives are shown in the first screen shot

In the second screen shot I compiled with the directive you suggested.  The Explorer info is now correct.  But the directive is not editable in the compile dialog.

 

 

[Jos]

Correct, not all directives have been implemented in the GUI. maybe one day when I feel like doing that kind of stuff again.

Jos

[MilesAhead]

No biggie.  Thanks for the work-around.

For future reference I found a free command line tool that can insert file and product version numbers into existing binaries:

verpatch

A quick test shows it seems to work fine on both 32 and 64 bit exe files.

Just for my curiosity: did you still have issues setting ProductName and ProductVersion with the shown directives?

By the way: ResHacker.exe is also able to update the resources after the Script is compiled.

​I tried ResHacker.  I edited both the file version and the product version.  But only the file version shows changed in Explorer.  The string you gave me does show up in Explorer.  This command line utility is quite convenient.  Assuming no bugs pop up that is.  I made a simple batch to set both the file version and product version to the same number.

vx.cmd or whatever name is preferred.

example usage:

vx test.exe 1.0.0.0

@echo off
verpatch "%1" "%2" /pv "%2"
