Determining the version of an executable under Linux

[paul_cardinale]

In your Build spec, in the Version Information section, make sure the version is correct.

In the Advanced section make sure "Generate log file" is checked (by default it puts it in the same folder as the .exe)

The log file has a .txt extension, but is formatted as a .ini file.  You can read the version information from the [Output File Version] section.

This is a great solution.  However I would like to place the control in my RT Initialize VI without placing it in my RT Main as well.  When I run Pre-Build Action.vi it works fine, placing the control in the selected VI only.  Then if I build the .exe it places the control in both the selected VI and the RT Main.  I can't figure out why.
