Is there a tool availabel for this? Yes, I could use FinalBuilder, and yes, it should not be that hard and I could write it on my own - but if there is something available, I could save some time. I need it for D5.

Create a version.rc file and add it to your project (clear the add version information in your project options). Then simply build your project. Be warned that Delphi might not rebuild the version.res file if it already exists even though changes have been made to the resource script. We use a simple home grown editor that updates all of our project version.rc files and then we simply execute a batch file that first of all deletes all project dcus (you never notice that the source has gone until it's too late) then calls brcc32 to rebuild all the res files and then dcc32 to build the project. The batch file also calls an exe compressor and then InnoSetup. So it's basically enter the version information and then sit back with a coffee until it's all done and you don't even need to open Delphi !

It comes on the companion cd for bds 2006 .. err, err, I'll try find it. Well Liz! I think you even have a license for it! It is changeres... see www.tiriss.com/changeres or indeed on the Delphi 2005 or Delphi 2006 companion cd. It allows you to change the version number in a .res file (which is where your delphi projects store its version numbers). You can have changeres get the version info from a .ini file, and create a simple batch file to set all the projects to that version like this: ChangeRes Project1.res -U -F VersionInfo.ini ChangeRes Project2.res -U -F VersionInfo.ini ChangeRes Project3.res -U -F VersionInfo.ini Hope this helps a bit, if you have questions: just ask me Regards, Tjipke van der Plaats Tiriss -- Need to change your projects version info from the commandline?
