VersionUtil

VersionUtil is a small utility program I wrote for developers.  It will update the version number in a DLL or EXE after it is built.

It is designed to be used as part of a post-build event in a Visual C++ project.  The post-build event occurs if-and-only-if the binary is built and when used, this utility will update the version of the binary.

Features

  • The version number can come from either a command-line parameter or from a file, so it's easy to put the same version number in multiple binaries.
  • The version number can be fixed to be automatically generated based on date and/or time-of-day
