VS_VERSION_INFO info Overview Group

The VS_VERSION_INFO structure depicts the organization of data in a file-version resource. This structure is not a true C-language structure because it contains variable-length members. This structure was created solely to depict the organization of data in a version resource and does not appear in any of the header files shipped with the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).

The VS_VERSION_INFO structure is the root structure that contains all other file-version information structures.

VS_VERSION_INFO { 

    WORD  wLength; 

    WORD  wValueLength; 

    WORD  wType; 

    WCHAR szKey[]; 

    WORD  Padding1[]; 

    VS_FIXEDFILEINFO Value; 

    WORD  Padding2[]; 

    WORD  Children[]; 

};

wLength: Specifies the length, in bytes, of the VS_VERSION_INFO structure. This length does not include any padding that aligns any subsequent version resource data on a 32-bit boundary.
wValueLength: Specifies the length, in bytes, of the Value member. This value is zero if there is no Value member associated with the current version structure.
wType: Specifies the type of data in the version resource. This member is 1 if the version resource contains text data and 0 if the version resource contains binary data.
szKey: Contains the Unicode string “VS_VERSION_INFO”.
Padding1: Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Value member on a 32-bit boundary.
Value: Contains a VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure that specifies arbitrary data associated with this VS_VERSION_INFO structure. The wValueLength member specifies the length of this member; if wValueLength is zero, this member does not exist.
Padding2: Contains as many zero words as necessary to align the Children member on a 32-bit boundary. These bytes are not included in wValueLength. This member is optional.
Children: Specifies an array of zero or one StringFileInfo structures, and zero or one VarFileInfo structures that are children of the current VS_VERSION_INFO structure.
