Hi Tomas;

  FWIW: That is how my Framework reads this information ... but it calls the MS-Windows API's directly for that to read the EXE (or DLL's) properties. No external DLL(s) needed.

For example: Form the IDE...

From an EXE ...

HTH

My OSVersion example returns information about the operating system version and it returns version info from an exe or dll.

Hi

I've wrapped .NET FileVersionInfo class. If someone is interested in then there's the code:

C# source code for SnapDevelop is here.

Exported PB2021 object and compiled .NET Framework 2.0 DLL are attached. The DLL has no dependency.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
