Very easy if you are using visual studio:

• Right click on the 'Resource Files' folder in the project
• Click 'Add' then 'Resource'
• Choose 'Version' from the pop-up dialog

You can then double click on the file to open it in Visual Studio, and you get a handy editor to change the values.

Your values are then automatically linked in to the EXE.
