If you're using Visual Studio then you may add the Version resource item from the IDE.

Solution 3

In Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right click on your Win32 project.
Choose "Add"->"Resource".Choose "Version" resource type.
Click "New".
You will see a list of keys and values, like FileVersion, ProductVersion etc.
