Windows resources field overflows to next field

Question

I try to build resource file with Borland resources compiler, but the fields' data have to overflow. Even if I make padding with spaces for 30 characters, it overflows in some cases (in some cases not)... is there some binary format description of Microsoft resources files?

Here is the codes.

resource.rc file:

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION     1, 1, 1, 1
BEGIN
    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        BLOCK "040904E4"
        BEGIN
            VALUE "CompanyName",        "VAR_COMPANYNAME"
            VALUE "FileDescription",    "VAR_FILEDESCRIPTION"
            VALUE "FileVersion",        "VAR_FILEVERSION"
            VALUE "InternalName",       "VAR_INTERNALNAME"
            VALUE "LegalCopyright",     "VAR_LEGALCOPYRIGHT"
            VALUE "LegalTrademarks1",   "VAR_LEGALTRAIDMARKS1"
            VALUE "LegalTrademarks2",   "VAR_LEGALTRAIDMARKS2"
            VALUE "OriginalFilename",   "VAR_ORIGNALFILENAME"
            VALUE "ProductName",        "VAR_PRODUCTNAME"
            VALUE "ProductVersion",     "VAR_PRODUCTVERSION"
        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        VALUE "Translation", 1033, 1252
    END
END

resource.bat file:

@echo off

T:\bin\brcc32.exe -foTSEDO.res "C:\repos\gradlecpp\src\main\resources\resource.rc"

resource.ps1 file:

$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"

Remove-Item "TSEDO.rc"
Remove-Item "TSEDO.res"
Remove-Item "TSEDO.dll"

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$scriptPath = split-path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

$process = Start-Process `
    -NoNewWindow `
    -FilePath "$scriptPath\resources.bat" `
    -Wait `
    -PassThru
if ($process.ExitCode -ne 0) {
    "Error " + $process.ExitCode
    exit
}

$process = Start-Process `
    -NoNewWindow `
    -FilePath "T:\Bin\bpr2mak.exe" `
    -ArgumentList 'TSEDO.bpr -t..\template.bmk' `
    -Wait `
    -PassThru

if ($process.ExitCode -ne 0) {
    "Error " + $process.ExitCode
    exit
}

$process = Start-Process `
    -NoNewWindow `
    -FilePath "T:\bin\make.exe" `
    -ArgumentList '-fTSEDO.mak' `
    -Wait `
    -PassThru

if ($process.ExitCode -ne 0) {
    "Error " + $process.ExitCode
    exit
}

As shown in MSDN's VERSIONINFO resource example, you need to add a null terminator to the end of each string value in each localized BLOCK, eg:

VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION     1, 1, 1, 1
BEGIN
    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        BLOCK "040904E4"
        BEGIN
            VALUE "CompanyName",        "VAR_COMPANYNAME\0"
            VALUE "FileDescription",    "VAR_FILEDESCRIPTION\0"
            VALUE "FileVersion",        "VAR_FILEVERSION\0"
            VALUE "InternalName",       "VAR_INTERNALNAME\0"
            VALUE "LegalCopyright",     "VAR_LEGALCOPYRIGHT\0"
            VALUE "LegalTrademarks1",   "VAR_LEGALTRAIDMARKS1\0"
            VALUE "LegalTrademarks2",   "VAR_LEGALTRAIDMARKS2\0"
            VALUE "OriginalFilename",   "VAR_ORIGNALFILENAME\0"
            VALUE "ProductName",        "VAR_PRODUCTNAME\0"
            VALUE "ProductVersion",     "VAR_PRODUCTVERSION\0"
        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN
        VALUE "Translation", 1033, 1252
    END
END
