DLL versioning

Post by nm17 »

Would it be possible to set FileVersion and ProductVersion on phidget22.dll files?

The dlls don't have this set, I wonder if this could cause issues, e.g. how would Windows know if an existing phidget22.dll in a setup folder needs an update by a newer version or not?

I am trying to troubleshoot a possible issue with wrong dll being installed and the only property that I can check is "modified date" or perhaps I could do file checksum but that's tedious.

To check version I use:

Code: Select all

(Get-Item phidget22.dll).VersionInfo 
returns empty strings

I will add version info to the libraries for the next release.
