Create an RC file. Add it to the project. We create the file with a text editor, sort of like shown here. Just get an RC file from a WDK sample and edit it with notepad.

Thanks your reply.
I had try to add it via VS right-click menu, and open xxx.rc in Resource Explorer, but get fatal erro RC1015 cannot open include file winres.h.

I try to include the path of winres.h but same result.

Did you add it in the “Resource Files” section?

Sure, but now I write it manually in plain text, not the Resource Editor, build success.

I prefer to use editors to edit them rather than hand-written text, if possible. :smile:

For drivers, you’re better off using notepad.

So, you’re all set now?

Yes, all works well except the resource editor, thank you very much ! :wink:

Try this approach https://github.com/AndreyBazhan/Version. In step 2, though, add Version.rc to your rc file using notepad.exe or F7.

#ifndef APSTUDIO_INVOKED

#include “Version.rc”

#endif
