In order to ensure that the DLL's & Exe's have version info in them (btw this is captured in the rpt crashes) the build process needs to be updated and resource files need to be created.
Currently there is only one plugin DLL that includes version info (DoxyBlocks.dll).
Attached is a quick and dirty project that takes the manifest.xml file and creates a resource file. Be aware that you need to change the "FILETYPE" in the source for DLL's or Exe's. The code was written to be used once!
The project file changes are in the following github repo:

I have not made the changes to the makefiles yet.
