How to embed meta info for an executable?

How can I embed meta information such as "Company", "File Version" as
you can see from the property form using "Explorer" for executable using
visual c++ 2008?

And also, what kind of APIs are available to read the meta info at run time?

Thanks

Charles,

These strings are part of the version information resource. You can
access them programmatically using the Ver* APIs. I think the About
box code in a generic SDK sample has example code.

Thanks. Dave.

By adding "resource" of "version", I can embed the information I wanted
to the executable.
