Set exe file description and version with cx_Freeze

Question

I'm using cx_Freeze to convert a Python file to EXE. Everything is working well, but the file attributes that I set in the setup command are not visible in the file properties:

setup(
    name="myfile",
    options=options,
    version="1.2.3.4",
    description='My file',
    executables=executables
)

I expect to see the file description and file version when I right click the generated EXE file and go to Details:

As you can see the File description and File version are empty, although I set them up in the setup command.

Any way to have these details show in the file properties by a Python or cx_Freeze process (not by an external software on the existing EXE file like described here)?
