How to read the version number of a file and set OutFile..

Freddie9000 · 31st October 2007, 15:54

Hi,

I have to read the file version of our exe and set it as postfix for our setup.exe, like setup_1.0.0.0.exe.
I get the entire version via GetDllVersion in the .onInit-callback, but I need this version string for the OutFile Makro, but I can't call OutFile in .onInit.
I only can read the version in a global variable like VERSION and can show a message box with that info....

I only want this information as caption in my installer like "Out Program 1.0.0.0".

Is there anybody who can help ? I guess yes ;-)

Cheers,
Freddie
