about the *.rc file of my driver

NTDEV
1

in the rc file of my driver, i use the following code to define my file version:
FILEVERSION 1,2,3,4
when the sys is generated, I check the details of properties of my sys, I found the value is as follows:
file version 1.2.3.4

but, when I check the value of serial.sys in device manager, I found the value is as follows:
file version: 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255)

How can I generate the rest string for my sys file, just as (win7_rtm.090713-1255)??

thanks!

I think you need to set VER_FILEVERSION_STR -

has a great example of how it can be configured.

These .rc files in driver projects are not needed at all; you can use this instead:

If you have already made required change and driver file details are showing
it correctly and if it is only driver description from device manager it not
reflecting the same then my guess is you forgot to made the change in INF
file and that is the reason you are not finding correct driver version.

Hope it will help…
