    Whenever I build a project on a windows system that includes a resource file to hold images etc, a projectName_resource.rc file gets created. In this file are some possible value assignments:
    VALUE "CompanyName", "\0"
    VALUE "FileDescription", "\0"
    VALUE "FileVersion", "\0"
    VALUE "LegalCopyright", "\0"
    VALUE "OriginalFilename", "\0"
    VALUE "ProductName", "\0"
    VALUE "ProductVersion", "\0"

    What variable assignment do I need to make to actually have meaningful values show up here other than nothing?

      You should take a look at the qmake manual
