/VERSION does not work

[Eric D]

I am using VC++ .NET and I cannot get version numbers to set on my
ISAPI Filter DLL no matter what I do (i.e. Explorer still reports the
DLL as having the same version number). I've tried setting it in the
project options to say 1.0.1.0 or 1.1 but that doesn't work. I tried
setting the /VERSION:1.0.1.0 as an additional command line option in
the linker, that did not work either. And besides there seems to be no
way to set the Company Name on the DLL's I create either- it always
sets the Company Name to what Visual Studio is registered with. What
trick do I have to know to get versions to work here?

I'm used to Delphi and c++ Builder where setting Version Information
and Company name is done easily- no fuss. Why is everything in C++
..NET have to be so hard?

Not entirely sure, but does the following URL help?

This helps- thanks. The article says itself that the /VERSION does not
affect the version information displayed in Windows Explorer..
apparently I have to edit some Resource file instead. Seems like this
would have been more apparent when I searched in the help, weird it
didn't show up.
