Description sh2ka 2011-01-03 16:55:10 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta (Build 201011152355)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_21
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 17.0-b16

For example, if I want use version numbering as:
 - 5.03 alpha1 - for testing while development
 - 5.03 beta4 - for testing while beta-testing period
 - 5.03 - production release
 - 5.03.08 - release with bugfix after 5.03 release
 - and so on.

Error occurs because:
VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
	FILEVERSION 1,00 alpha,0,0
	PRODUCTVERSION 1,00 alpha,0,0
	...

This is incorrect FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION values.

May be it will be more easy to allow user to enable/disable autogeneration of windows resource rc-file or automatically use rc file from the project if this kind of file exists in the project. The latter will be better and user can add to rc-file another sections (for example, path to ico-file for the executable and so on). I use widely C++ macroses with project name, version, description, company, developers and others those are go to my cpp-files for `About` dialog and to rc-file too.

Can you clarify what is this bug about, please?
And steps to reproduce. 
Are you talking about issue in C/C++ support in NetBeans?

Thanks,
Vladimir.
