Hi John;

  You are most welcome to extract the code from my framework. The framework also handles PowerServer Web App signature and PS Mobile App signature. 64bit P-Code, 32 bit P-Code & 32bit M-Code native PB Apps are supported. Following is a 32bit Machine-Code example:

Very interested in this thread Chris. Would you be able to point me in the right direction in your framework where I would find the calls to return this string information?

Thank you.

Hi, David -

Another alternative is to examine the OSVersion free code example application on Roland Smith's TopWizProgramming web site. It shows you how to extract this information from an exe or dll:

Here's an example of the information it extracted from Excel on my PC:

Best regards, John

Will look at this now. Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris

I am updating the runtime environment from 32 bit to 64 bit . Could you please show how to extract fileversion info from the 64bit P-Code executable 

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the prompt reply but

I can see the fileversion and other version in the details section of properties  of the executable 

 but not able to get the fileversion information  . Always getting 0.0.0.0 for fileversion

 

The following code works for the 32 bit application but not for the 64 bit Pcode . the runtime environment is 64 bit created from Powerbuilder runtime package 2022 R3

// as_filename represent exe file name built on 64 bit runtime

 

 try

ulong dwHandle, dwLength
string ls_Buff, ls_key, ls_versioninfo
uint lui_length
long ll_pointer
integer li_rc
runtimeerror le_ex
le_ex = create runtimeerror

// Get version info length
dwLength = GetFileVersionInfoSize( as_filename, dwHandle )

IF dwLength <= 0 THEN
Throw le_ex
END IF

// Get version info text
ls_Buff = Space( dwLength )
li_rc = GetFileVersionInfo( as_filename, dwHandle, dwLength, ls_Buff )

IF li_rc = 0 THEN
Throw le_ex
END IF

// the strange numbers below represents the country and language
// of the version resource.
ls_key = "\StringFileInfo\040904e4\FileVersion"
IF NOT VerQueryValue( ls_buff, "\\", ll_pointer, lui_length ) OR lui_length <= 0 THEN
// Failed to find the version
Throw le_ex
ELSE
// Extract verson from the text
ls_versioninfo = Space( lui_length*2 ) // times 2 for unicode characters

CopyMemory( ls_versioninfo, ll_pointer, lui_length*2)

END IF

catch (runtimeerror err1)

ls_versioninfo = "0.0.0.0" // Unknown
end try

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Jalil;

  I just retested this again this AM in PB  2022 R3 build 3356 and the 64 bit EXE signature meta data was found OK ...

  Please make sure that you are not using an older STD framework release but a release specific to this PB build.

FYI1: http://chrispollach.blogspot.com/2024/02/integrated.html  (for PB 2022 R3 build 3289).

Note however that this build should auto migrate to build 3356 & run OK.

FYI2: The STD Framework 2024R2 is in release candidate status and specifically designed for build 3356 (with new features that is)
