Hello,

I compiled following Code with Unicode NSIS 2.46.3:

code:


!define File "program.exe"

OutFile "GetVersion.exe"



Function .onInit

 ## Get file version

 GetDllVersion "${File}" $R0 $R1

  IntOp $R2 $R0 / 0x00010000

  IntOp $R3 $R0 & 0x0000FFFF

  IntOp $R4 $R1 / 0x00010000

  IntOp $R5 $R1 & 0x0000FFFF

 StrCpy $R1 "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5"



 ## Write it to a !define for use in main script

 FileOpen $R0 "DefineValues.txt" w

 FileWrite $R0 '!define PRODUCT_VERSION "$R1" $\n'

 FileClose $R0



 Abort

FunctionEnd

I get a GetVersion.exe, but if I try to start it from the Windows Explorer, I get the message

GetVersion.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

If I use NSIS 2.46, it works fine and I get DefinesValues.txt with the entry !define PRODUCT_VERSION ....

I know the post

I use Windows 7 64 bit, and other more complex Setup-Skript get compiled well with Unicode NSIS.

Hello again!

While I tried to implement the solution with File "program.exe", I noticed the command !define /product_version in the NSIS User Manual.

with GetDLLVersion or GetDLLVersionLocal are for getting the version from a file on the building machine as a compiler constant during compile time, I think.

With the command !define /product_version it's quite easier.

So I write a little NSIS header GetVersionLocal.nsh with the macros GetFileVersionLocal and GetProductVersionLocal.
Now I can get a constant with the version number without makeing a dummy setup.

code:


!insertmacro GetProductVersionLocal "$%windir%\system32\kernel32.dll" version

!echo "${version_0}.${version_1}.${version_2}.${version_3}"

!echo "${version}"

For a description see the header file.
