Comment (by Andrey Semashev):

 > 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.

 I don't see how it is related to macros defined in `ntverp.h`. Which
 macros must you define in your header that are also defined in `ntverp.h`?

 > How about putting your include of NTVERP.h into its own namespace so
 that you don't pollute the global namespace?

 We're talking about macros, they don't respect C++ namespaces.
