FileVerInfo Returns Incorrect Version
Keywords: FileVerInfo Returns Wrong Incorrect Not Correct Version Number String
Question:
I am creating a program that will scan certain software to see if it is current with patches. When I use FileVerInfo in the C:\Windows\system32 folder and point to an .exe or a .dll file then FileVerInfo returns the correct "FileVersion" info. If I try it against a .sys file it returns version information but it is not correct. The FileVerInfo function says it will work on any binary file. Is a .sys file considered a binary file?Details: Winbatch 2012B on 32-bit only Windows 7 system.
Answer:
Yes it is a binary driver file.Exes, dlls and driver files usually have at lease two different forms of version information stored in their version resource block. This is why the FileVerInfo function provides both: FileVersion and #FileVersion.
Try using '#FileVerInfo' instead.
