Changing version numbers 1

[snuv]

I need to change a version number in several programs but I would prefer not to have to recompile the software. Does anyone out there know of a utility that might be able to do this?

The Visual C++ Binary Editor (Since version 6... don't know about previous versions) can do that if you don't add bytes just overwrite them. ;-)

Thanks for that
I think I have to recompile. The version number isnt a straightforward sequence of bytes in the binary.
Thanks for pointing out the binary editor though

You could put the version number(s) in the registry.
