Ability to have Version Information for Windows .exe?

Haxe
#1

Is it possible to have custom version information for Windows executables? If I compile with hxcpp, I get an executable with the icon but it is missing the version information:

I also tried with several ways to attach a .rc file with this info:


1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1,0,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,0
FILEOS 0x4
FILETYPE 0x2
{
	BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
	{
		BLOCK "040904E4"
		{
			VALUE "CompanyName", ""
			VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0.0"
			VALUE "FileDescription", "Sample"
			VALUE "InternalName", ""
			VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Author Name"
			VALUE "LegalTrademarks", ""
			VALUE "OriginalFilename", "Sample.exe"
			VALUE "ProductName", "Sample"
			VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0.0.0"
		}
	}
	BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
	{
		VALUE "Translation", 0x0409, 1252
	}
}

Some fields like File Description are important in Windows Applications, as it is used as description in the taskbar and system tray and the others are informative to the user and enrich some other Windows dialogs.

Is there any way to specify these?
Iā€™d expect something like,

<config:windows version-information="productname" value="test" />
<config:windows version-information="productversion" value="1.0.0.0" />
<config:windows version-information="companyname" value="test" />
<config:windows version-information="fileversion" value="1.0.0.0" />
<config:windows version-information="filedescription" value="test" />
<config:windows version-information="legalcopyright" value="test" />

in the project.xml file

This is not supported right now, but would be a nice feature :slight_smile:
