How to read the version number of a DLL?

[Greg_NTI]

Hello,

does anybody has an example code on how to get the version of a DLL file? I know it should work with the GetFileVersionInfo(..) function, but I get project link errors, altough including "window.h"

Thanks!
Greg

freemason,

Why are you looking around the cvi board? Do you want c code?

Hello freemason,

This is the LabWindows/CVI board, which a C programming environment. If you are looking for LabVIEW help, I suggest posting to the LabVIEW board.

That being said, I did find this example for getting file version info for DLLs and executables: Community Example: Get File Version Info.

I also found this KnowledgeBase article about getting the version of an executable in LabVIEW.

Hope that helps,
