This is a remake of a merely old thing coming since Visual C++ 6.0. The add-in updates .RC resource script to increment file version (A.B.C.D+1 from A.B.C.D) for a binary to be compiled just before compilation. This is useful to have each build compiled with a different version number.

The add-in works with C++ projects for Visual Studio .NET versions 2003, 2005, should also be working with 2002 version (no compiler by hand to make sure though).

A known problem is that if resource script is edited from IDE, the pre-build update of the .RC file forces a popup message box confirming reload of .RC file by IDE. This might be somewhat annoying, however I have not find a way to silence the environment.
