Since the code doesn’t really change, consider a utility to update the version
resource in-place.
It might even be easy enough to do this directly with JNA and call the
appropriate Windows APIs

Good catch! That .exe doesn't need to be compiled very often since it
doesn't change and there's not much it has to do.
So, we last compiled it for NetBeans 9 and will use it until it breaks :-)
Please open a JIRA issue if you want, but we'll have to wait for Jan
to recompile the .exe.
