Hi,

I have a collection of files needed their version to be set, This should be
done programmatically, I wonder... is there any existing API that enable
modification/addition of version to an existing binary?

It is possible to parse the '.rsrc' section manually, however, I am trying
to avoid this, any samples, pointers or advice would be appreciated.

You should look at the *UpdateResource family of Win32 APIs
