How can I programmatically read what version of software I am using?
If I use Visual Studio to create a project, and that project includes a resource (.rc) file and the version is specified in that file, how can I use code to “read” the version information?
That is, if I want the software to report what version it is when it is run, and the only place this information is stored is in the .rc file, what can I do?
You want to use GetFileVersion() and related functions.
