So it is a guessing game.

The dll file needs to have a versionInfo with a template like this:

Code: Select all

1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1,0,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,0
FILEOS 0x40000
FILETYPE 0x1
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
	BLOCK "040904E4"
	{
		VALUE "FileDescription", "Your description - shown in TC when selecting the dll"
		VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0.0"
	}
}

BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
{
	VALUE "Translation", 0x0409 0x04E4
}
}

you can compile the code into a .res file with a tool like GoRC.exe and then embed it with for example ResourceHacker.exe
