Comment (by Brian Catlin <BrianC@…>):

 In File Explorer, when you right-click on an executable and select the
 details tab, what you see is the version information that was stored in a
 resource section in the executable. As I mentioned, the most common
 paradigm is to define the version info in a header file (version.h), which
 is included by both the resource file (resources.rc) and the cpp file,
 thus giving the cpp file access to the version info, for outputting in a
 banner or in response to a -v command.
