You're right! the question was about rc file.
Then, how about a pre-build step that will run
cl <enter>, parse the version number out of the output, and produce
an include for a rc2 file. Put the version resource into .rc2 to avoid
creating it automatically.

But only set by the C or C++ compiler, I believe. While the VERSION
resource is processed by the resource compiler, rc.exe.

However setting preprocessor defines in the project settings should work,
