Could you please share any code snippet which can set a given version number to given EXE file.

Thanks,

So show us the code you used with Regex and explain what happened when you ran it.

That is in remote machine which I can't post it... Could you please share any powershell code snippet which will set product version number to the given exe file.

Why would ever want to do this?

There is no API to set this stuff and it's set into the executable when the app is compiled.

With this tool you can set the version info: Simple Version Resource Tool for Windows[^]
