I need to access the Version, Major and Minor revision information stored in an Application (either VFP or otherwise). There is a Win32API call call GetFileVersionInfo (and GetFileVersionInfoSize) which should do the job. Unfortunately, they require a library called version.lib ..which I have .. but can't seem to access.

If I use a DECLARE GetFileVersionInfo in WIN32API the function is not found.

If I use a DECLARE GetFileVersionInfo in version.lib VFP doesn't complain untill I try to access it .. I get a "Cannot load 32bit DLL Version.lib" message

As a work around , I'm accessing the VFP project file (the devinfo field - last 19 bytes) and writing the info to an INI file after each build. This doesn't help with other Apps obviously.

Any ideas ??
