| Description |
|
Windows executables can include a version resource that provides a version number and other information. Some of this information can be viewed in Windows Explorer when viewing the Properties of a file; in Windows 7, the Details tab shows this information when it is present. The main reason why version resources are helpful is that they make it possible to see the version information without running the program. A --version switch is a fine thing, but it is not a substitute for data that can be scanned by inventory programs that scan a computer to collect information on what is installed. None of the MongoDB programs for Windows include any version resources. |
