Set Version Info (without compiling)

I have a need to update the version info of a DLL, without compiling it. I’ve found the “Extract…” version info action, but there appears not to be a “Set…” companion action. How can I accomplish the version info update?

Hi Eivind,

There is the “Win 32 Version Info Updater” action however this does require a recompile of the DLL. Currently this, and other compiling actions are the only actions available for updating version information.

Another way to achieve this would be to locate a command line tool which allows you to change the version information of a DLL and call that from within Finalbuilder.

There are a few tools that come to mind :
