For VFP5, you'd have to use GETFILEVERSION from FOXTOOLS.FLL.

>>The nValLen contains the correct length of the return value, but the return value is just junk. I displayed the cVersionData to the screen and could decipher the items in the unicode output. The only thing I can figure is I'm not ueing the correct lang-charset mentioned in the help topic for this function (GetFileVersionInfo). You'll notice I'm just using the example from the help file. Anyone been able to pull this off? Do I need to convert the result of the GetFileVersionInfo function back to a normal string (since it's unicode?).
