This custom action creates a step to retrieve the file version of a Visual Studio 6.0 project or resource file (C++ projects and resource files and Visual Basic projects only).  Select the filename in the Project tab, and when the step is built, the file version is retrieved from the project or RC file and stored in the temporary macro VS6_PROJ_VER.

 

Note: By default, this action is not displayed (existing steps will still be displayed in the Step panes and will build normally).  To show all hidden actions, right-click in the Actions pane and choose Show Hidden.
