/VERSION (Version information)

/VERSION:major[.minor]

Arguments

major and minor
The version number you want in the header of the EXE or DLL file.

Remarks

The /VERSION option tells the linker to put a version number in the header of the EXE or DLL file. Use DUMPBIN /HEADERS to see the image version field of the OPTIONAL HEADER VALUES to see the effect of /VERSION.

The major and minor arguments are decimal numbers in the range 0 through 65,535. The default is version 0.0.

The information specified with /VERSION doesn't affect the version information that appears for an application when you view its properties in File Explorer. That version information comes from a resource file that's used to build the application. For more information, see Version Information Editor.

Another way to insert a version number is with the VERSION module-definition statement.
