[fixed]IrrLicht DLL version

Post by TCM »

How about adding DLL information to the irrlicht.dll file? I have so many versions of this file ( 1.5 -> 1.7.2 ) and sometimes the software crashes due to wrong DLL version. But the problem is that one cannot tell which DLL version the file is, by looking at the file properties.

Yes, of course i can do this for myself. But i guess it would be useful for all of us.

Is there an MSVC option we should know of?

This is done by adding a version resource. The "express" versions of Visual Studio do not have a resource editor. A licensed package does have.

It is still possible to add version information by using external resource editing software.

Ok, that worked. Don't know what really happened, but the msvc10 project now creates a dll with version information. The other project files will probably need to add the ressource file and compile it.
