How to compile Delphi RES file from commandline

Question

I never worked with Delphi before, so maybe the question looks a simple minded, But I need to change FileVersion in RES resource file parameter from command line...

Answer 1

Here can find the Borland resource compiler:

%ProgramFiles%\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\brcc32.exe

EDIT: As mghie mentioned you could create a RC file like this one:

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 100
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 1
 FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
#ifdef _DEBUG
 FILEFLAGS 0x9L
#else
 FILEFLAGS 0x8L
#endif
 FILEOS 0x4L
 FILETYPE 0x1L
 FILESUBTYPE 0x0L
BEGIN
    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        BLOCK "040904b0"
        BEGIN
            VALUE "Comments", "Modified by BZCToOn's"
            VALUE "CompanyName", "Syntheretix"
            VALUE "FileDescription", "rcversion MFC Application"
            VALUE "FileVersion", "1, 0, 0, 100"
            VALUE "InternalName", "rcversion"
            VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyleft (C) Bzc ToOn'S 2002"
            VALUE "OriginalFilename", "rcversion.EXE"
            VALUE "PrivateBuild", "RCVERSION-20030212_100"
            VALUE "ProductName", "rcversion Application"
            VALUE "ProductVersion", "1, 0, 0, 1"
        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1200
    END
END

And compile it using BRCC32. Before you have to disable version information in project settings.
