New .rc file with Vista?

[Erik Loef]

When I use the following resource text with Windows XP and right click on the exe within Windows Explorer, I find on the details tab most of the info of the resource text.

However when I do the same within Windows Explorer on my Vista machine I am only seeing the version number.

Are there changes needed somehow?

#include "c:\pb90\winapi\resource.h"

1 24 "ab10.exe.manifest.xml"

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
FILEOS VOS_WINDOWS32
FILETYPE VFT_APP
BEGIN
  BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
  BEGIN
    BLOCK "040904E4"
    BEGIN
      VALUE "CompanyName",      "My name\0"
      VALUE "FileDescription",  "My program\0"
      VALUE "FileVersion",      "1.0.0.0\0"
      VALUE "InternalName",     "ab10\0"
      VALUE "OriginalFilename", "ab10.exe\0"
      VALUE "LegalCopyright",   "© 2009 My name, All Rights Reserved\0"
      VALUE "ProductName",      "My program\0"
      VALUE "ProductVersion",   "1.0\0"
    END
  END
END

Use the following copy-n-paste from my PB folder as a guideline. Note the important note down the page.

1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 2, 0, 0, 524
PRODUCTVERSION 2, 0, 0, 0
FILETYPE VFT_APP
BEGIN
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
BEGIN
BLOCK "040904E4"
BEGIN
VALUE "CompanyName", "Clay Clear's Software\0"
VALUE "FileVersion", "2.0.0.524\0"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "2.0.0.0\0"
VALUE "Author", "Clay C. Clear\0"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Freeware\0"
VALUE "LegalTrademarks", "None\0"
VALUE "Originalfilename", "calendar.exe\0"
VALUE "FileDescription", "calendar.exe\0"
VALUE "InternalName","calendar\0"
VALUE "ProductName", "calendar.exe\0"
VALUE "E-mail", "[email protected]\0"
END
END
'the bottom part is also required in a versioninfo resource, I believe
BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
BEGIN
VALUE "Translation", 0x0409, 1252
END
END

I added the last part and all of a sudden everything shows up.

Thanks very much Clay!
