WINDOWS
Summary:
Version 3.1 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK)
and of the Microsoft Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK, formerly termed
the Device Development Kit) do not support placing a version-
information resource into a virtual device (VxD) file. However, the
device descriptor block (DDB) stores some version information. For
more information on the DDB, see the VxD_Desc_Block data structure in
the VMM.INC file.
A version-information resource contains data to identify the version,
language, and distribution of the application, dynamic-link library
(DLL), driver, or device containing the resource. The Windows Resource
Compiler binds a version resource to a file that has the Windows (new-
style) executable-file header.
Because VxD files do not have the new-style header, a VxD file cannot
contain a version resource.
