File.GetVersionInfo Examples

table File.GetVersionInfo (

Example 1

version_info = File.GetVersionInfo( _WindowsFolder .. "\\Doopernator\\Doopernator.exe");

fv = version_info.FileVersion;

pv = version_info.ProductVersion;

Gets the version info for the "C:\Windows\Doopernator\Doopernator.exe" file and stores it in a table named version_info. Then copies the file version and product version from that table into variables named fv and pv, respectively.

Example 2

-- Get the file information, and load it into a table

tVersionInfo = File.GetVersionInfo(_SourceDrive .. "\\setup.exe");

-- Get the last error code

nError = Application.GetLastError();

if nError == 0 then

-- There was not an error

sOutput = "";

-- Traverse the table, storing info in a string

for Name, Contents in tVersionInfo do

sOutput = sOutput .. Name .. ": " .. Contents .. "\r\n";

end

-- Output string contents to the user

Dialog.Message("File Version Information", sOutput);

else

-- There was an error, alert the user

Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[nError]);

end

Retrieves the version information from the file "setup.exe, and presents it to the user in a single dialog message.
