| Description |
|
On Windows, it is a best practice for binaries to have a VERSIONINFO resource. This enables users to check the version of the binary without running the code. The version info can be viewed from Explorer, sigcheck from sysinternals or other tools. References: Example from server: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/src/mongo/db/db.rc |
