Hi,

what is the code you use to retrieve this information? And also the latest update date+time are they blank?

Regards,

Koen

>The problem I am having is not getting the version info from the EXE but rather that the version info in the VFP project is not retained in the EXE. Looking at the file properties in Windows Explorer shows the version info is blank. This is a problem when installing updates where the file should only be installed if it is a newer version than what is already on the user's system.

>>>I'm using the Visual MaxFrame framework which has a project hook but there's nothing in it that is stripping out the version info. Just a few minutes ago, the version info finally stuck. I made a backup copy of the EXE and compiled again with no changes and the version info was not retained in the EXE. 4 more attempts after that - version info not retained. Every once in a while it sticks but most of the time it does not.
