The patch above worked for me too. Thanks God I found this comment! :)
Please apply the patch ("VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO" -> "1 VERSIONINFO")
and release some newer version.
TIA,

I too had a problem getting the version resource recognized by Windows.
However, including windows.h did not fix the problem for me. When
constructing the VERSIONINFO block I noticed that the version ID was set to
VS_VERSION_INFO. The Microsoft docs
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa381058.aspx) clearly state that
this value must be a 1. When I made the change, windows recognized the
version resource block. Patch:

Commenting #include "windows.h" wasn't a good idea :(
Although MSDN says that we'll need windows.h only if we want
use named constants in .rc file, actually version info won't
be shown at all if we don't include windows.h (version
information is written to .exe or .dll, but doesn't show up
in file properties). So uncommenting line in
net.sf.antcontrib.cpptasks.platforms.WindowsPlatform that
writes #include "windows.h" to generated versioninfo.rc will
make version info accessible from file properties. At least
for msrc. I use MSVS 2003 on Win XP SP2.

The attach patch removes the include of windows.h and
switches from symbolic constants to literals.

Borland's resource compiler does not have windows.h in its
default include path and apparently ignores brc32.cfg.

The patch places the symbolics in the generated code, which
should hopefully preserve the readability.

The attached file is an initial implementation for Windows
compilers (tested with msvc and bcc). If a versioninfo is
specified, versioninfo.rc will be created and added to the
compile set. A resource compiler must be specified to
compile the file. See samples/cppunit.ant for a usage
example and the javadoc of
net.sf.antcontrib.cpptasks.VersionInfo for documentation.
