Win2000 Free Build

Hi,
I have one question regarding the File Version
displayed whenever you build a driver using Win2k Free
build enviornment.
Whenever I build a driver it always shows me
5.0.2195.1620 when I right click on the *.sys and
click Properties and then Version.

I can understand 5.0.2195 as the ddk build version.
I am not sure from where 1620 is coming from. Is it
something which I can control from the driver.

Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Gurpreet

The file version is defined in ntverp.h and included in your *.rc file.
To change default strings, you have to redefine them in your *.rc
and before the include of common.ver

The extension is the service pack build number. We’re pulling updates
from the service packs, to get bug fixes for the headers.

And, no you can’t really do anything with this in your driver.
