The program can also create binary resource (<code>.res</code>) files containing version information. To do this it needs to use a 3rd party resource compiler such as Borland's <em>BRCC32</em>.

From v2.11 the program supports a command line switch, <code>-makerc</code>, that silently creates a <code>.rc</code> file from a native <code>.vi</code> file passed on the command line. The program simply creates the <code>.rc</code> file and exits, without displaying a window. This option has been made available to enable <em>Version Information Editor</em> to be used in automated build processes.

where:

65+
<ul>
66+
<li>
67+
<code>file-dlg-directory</code> specifies the default directory used for all file open dialogue boxes displayed by the program.
68+
</li>
69+
<li>
70+
<code>-makerc</code> silently opens the <code>.vi</code> file specified by the following <code>vi-file-path</code> parameter and uses the information from the file to generate a <code>.rc</code> file, with the name optionally provided by the following <code>rc-file-path</code> parameter. If <code>rc-file-path</code> is not provided then the required file name is obtained by change the extention of <code>vi-file-path</code> to <code>.rc</code>. The program then closes without ever displaying its GUI.
71+
</li>
72+
<li>
73+
The optional <code>-open</code> command causes the file specified by the following <code>vi-file-path</code> parameter to be opened in the GUI on startup.
74+
</li>
75+
<li>
76+
Each of the optional <code>-E:name=value</code> commands defines or overwrites an environment variable that can then be accessed within the program using <em>Env</em> macros.
