Tortoise SVN File Version Property for Inno Setup

Question

I am struggling to find an answer to this online.

I am using Inno Setup to create an installer for several files. I know InnoSetup can check file versions and wont overwrite with old versions which is brilliant.

However, I cant figure out how to make tortoise SVN add the "Version" property to its files.

I would rather not use the "touch" flag in Inno Setup for all the files.

I am fairly new to versioning (the creation of version ID's), and any 'usefull links' would be greatly appreciated on this one

If you have files in a working copy, you should not try to "install" that working copy elsewhere. Only use TSVN itself (or another SVN client) to manage a TSVN working copy. If you're trying to do something else, perhaps you need to explain your situation better. Normally the roles of these two applications do not overlap. — Miral

That's not the kind of "version" Inno Setup checks.

Inno Setup checks the executable (.DLL/.EXE) version info (it's a Windows resource embedded in the file - see Version Info Resource at MSDN for details), like you see if you right-click an application in Windows Explorer, look at Properties->Details, and see things like:

File Description     Some Application Description
Type                 Application
File Version         2.5.1.247
Product Name         Some Product Name
Product Version      2.0.0.0
Copyright            © 2013, Some Company Name
