I made an executable file with freebasic compiler(basicly i turned qbasic source file into stand-alone executable) and i wonder if there is ANY way to change version of file so it is displayed at properties in "details" menu?
i searched youtube and wikipedia and windows help but nothing.
pls help me, i have some plans with it and i really want to add version info
You need to add it to the file first, because freebasic compiler does not do that.
I would use Restorator 2007.
In the program menu Resources - Add Resource - Windows Standard type- Version
And then because trial version of Restorator leaves trial marks inside exe file, I would use Resource Hacker to edit these marks (in resource hacker it is not possible to add a new Version resource as easy as in Restorator).

1. Download Restorator 2007 Here
2. Start downloaded file and install
3. Open Restorator 2007 shortcut in Start-Programs menu
4. In Restorator 2007 open file, which you have compiled in freebasic compiler.
5.In the Restorator 2007 menu Resources - Add Resource, Choose Windows Standard type- Version
6. Edit new fields which appeared with corresponding information.7. Save file, exit Restorator 2007.
7.Download and install Resource Hacker from here
8. Open modified file in Resource Hacker
9. In the left menu choose the Corresponding resource in this case Version Info/1/Language number
10. Change whatever mentions of trial version and click button "Compile Script" and Save file.
i did it exactly like that and still when i go to propeties->details there is nothing under file version shown
Might have missed something.
Here it is in pictures.
