Is there a free good quality tool to change the version of a complied exe (non .NET) app?

I had a tool that let me do this, but I can't find it...

@marcusw, wow! I left a few key words out of that question. Sorry about that. – Vaccano Mar 23 '10 at 16:13
Must be that questions are worth less now. I just don't take the time I used to on them. – Vaccano Mar 24 '10 at 15:55

If you mean the version number reported by Explorer et. al, it is stored in the file’s resources. In that case you can either open the file using a hex editor, find the version number, and edit it, or you can use a resource editor like the popular Reshacker. There’s also Resbuilder from TGTSoft (which seems to be mia at the moment); that’s also free.
