FileVerInfo Constants
Keywords: FileVerInfo Version Strings Win32 Resource Blocks
; ============================================================================
;
; File Name: VERSION_STRINGS_P6C.WIL
;
; Synopsis: Define standard strings used to process standard Windows
; version resource (VS_VERSION_INFO) blocks.
;
; Dependencies: None.
;
; Remarks: This file MUST be included AFTER include files
; WIL_CONSTANTS_WHICH_WW.WIL and WIL_CONSTANTS_L_P6C.WIL, or
; it will behave as it was originally designed, and add ALL of
; its constants to the current symbol table.

; Revision History
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; Date Author Version Synopsis
; ---------- ------ ------- -------------------------------------------------
; 2012/09/30 DAG/WW 1.38 Initial release. The version number corresponds
; to that of WIL_CONSTANTS_L_P6C.WIL, the inline
; include file where most of the symbolic constants
; are defined.
; ============================================================================
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Language strings identify Win32 resource blocks. This includes both version
; strings and general purpose StringTable resources.
;
; If you work in the US, unless you use Microsoft .NET assemblies, you will
; see mostly VER_LANG_EN_US.
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VER_LANG_EN_US = '040904e4' ; U. S. English - applies to most
; regular Windows .EXE and .DLL
; files, including WIL scripts
; built with the US English
; compiler.
VER_LANG_NEUTRAL = '04b00000' ; Language neutral - applies to
; most .NET assemblies.
; See GetVersionInfo_P6C.H. (So
; you don't waste time looking
; for it on the Internet, this
; is an unpublished C/C++ header
; file that I created.)
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Following are the standard version resource strings that you are most likely
; to encounter. They correspond to the fields seen in the Version tab of the
; property sheet of an executable file (.EXE or .DLL).
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VER_COMMENTS = 'Comments' ; I am unaware of any formal
; standards for this field. This
; field is usually left blank,
; even in WIL scripts, although
; there is a spot for it in the
; generated .CMP file and in the
; template generated by Visual
; Studio when you insert a new
; Version resource.
VER_COMPANYNAME = 'CompanyName' ; Amazingly, I frequently see
; this field left blank. Hey,
; it's free advertising.
VER_FILEDESCRIPTION = 'FileDescription' ; See VER_COMMENTS.
VER_FILE = 'FileVersion' ; This is the standard string
; for file version. See also
; ProductVersion. Both values
; are usually, though not
; always, identical.
VER_INTERNALNAME = 'InternalName' ; This field usually contains
; the file name, but not always.
; Its value is usually, though
; not always, the same as that
; of OriginalFilename.
VER_LEGALCOPYRIGHT = 'LegalCopyright' ; This is the standard version
; string for a copyright notice.
VER_LEGALTRADEMARKS = 'LegalTrademarks' ; Use this for trademark notices
; such as:
;
; FooBar is a registered trade mark of AlphaGeeks, Inc.
VER_ORIGINALFILENAME = 'OriginalFilename' ; This field usually, though not
; always, contains the base file
; name, such as EZXFER.exe. Its
; value is usually, though not
; always, the same as that of
; InternalName.
VER_PRIVATEBUILD = 'PrivateBuild' ; This is intended primarily for
; version control systems, such
; as Visual SourceSafe, Team
; Foundation Services, CVS, and
; SourceForge. I have never seen
; it in a released binary, and
; it is omitted from the .CMP
; file template.
VER_PRODUCTNAME = 'ProductName' ; For a standalone program, this
; is usually he same as the
; InternalName and OriginalFilename.
; Executable programs and DLLs that
; belong to a package, e. g.,
; Microsoft Office, usually list
; the package name.
VER_PRODUCTVERSION = 'ProductVersion' ; This is the standard string for
; product version. See also
; FileVersion. Both values are
; usually, though not always,
; identical.
VER_SPECIALBUILD = 'SpecialBuild' ; SpecialBuild must specify how
; this file differs from the
; standard version of the file.
;
; Reference: 1) "FileVersionInfo.SpecialBuild Property"
; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.fileversioninfo.specialbuild.aspx
;
; 2) "Nullsoft Scriptable Install System: Special Builds"
; http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds
;
; To date, I have never used
; this field, nor seen a binary
; in which it was populated.
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; These are custom strings added by the WinBatch compiler. They also appear in
; the file's property sheet, immediately below the standard strings.
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VER_COMPILE_TM = 'Compiletime' ; Applies to compiled WinBatch scripts. The string value is in the standard WIL YmdHms format.
VER_TOOLS_BUILD = 'ToolsetBuildInfo' ; Applies to compiled WinBatch scripts. For example, the string in scripts that I compile is as follows.
;
; Compiled with WinBatch Compiler 2012B by David Gray (#123456)
;
; The six digit number is parentheses is the control number assigned to the license that was in force when the script was compiled. (The number shown, 123456, is a dummy. I'll keep my control number to myself.)
VER_TOOLS_COPR = 'ToolsetCopyright' ; Applies to compiled WinBatch scripts. My 2012B compiler generates the following string.
