162606 - include version information in win32 executable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 136673

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Brant Gurganus]

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020802
BuildID:    20020802

The win32 executable of nightly builds does not include versioning information in the actual executable file like many other win32 programs do.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click mozilla.exe and click Properties.
Actual Results:  
There is no version tab.

Expected Results:  
There should be a version tab.

The version information helps programs such as Bugtoaster (www.bugtoaster.com) to keep bugs for one build together.  When no build information is given in the actual executable, each crash is assigned its own signature so no patterns can develop.

I found a Macintosh version of this bug at bug #147456, but I could not find a PC version of the bug although bug #147456 seemed to refer to one.
