Note: this advanced option screen is reachable by selecting the
"Executable" step and choosing
"Version info" from the
[Advanced options]
popup menu or by clicking directly on the index.
In this step of the exe4j wizard, you can
configure whether a version info resource should be generated in the executable
and what values the version info fields should take.
A version info resource will enable the Windows operating system to determine
meta information about your executable. This information is displayed in various
locations. For example, when opening the property dialog for the executable in the
Windows explorer, a "Version" tab will be present in the property dialog if
you have chosen to generate the version info resource.
The version info resource consists of several pieces of information.
If you check Generate version info resource, there are several
fields whose values must be entered in the text fields on this step. Note
that the "original file name" and the "product name" fields in the version info
resource are filled in automatically by exe4j.
-
Product version
The product version must be composed of a maximum of 4 numbers, separated by spaces,
commas or dots. By using the -r flag for the
command line compiler, the product version
can be overidden. The product version is also used in the
splash screen version line config as a replacement
value for the variable %VERSION%.
-
File version
If you want to specify a version for the file which is a different from the product version,
you can do it here. If this field is left empty, the product version will be used
for the file version.
