Can I Get A Build's Version Number Programmatically?

[ACS]

Greetings, all.

I want to be able to display the version number of a built executable in an about box. Is there any way to programmatically get this information?

Thanks!

Here's a handy little VI - just wire a ref of whatever VI you want the version of - gives the exe version in the runtime and the rev history number in development

Thanks for the upload. I went ahead and set up a build, modified your example to grab everything from the Verison info node, and pushed it into a cluster...

I must say that I had been doing this exact same thing the other day, but it was not returning the same strings I see here. Unless I was smoking crack.

[EDIT]

Actually, it looks like "Fix" and "Build" map to ProductBuildPart and ProductPrivatePart respectively; which may have given me trouble

Thank you!

I'll give this a try; thanks!

Just for let you know that user .net (using system.dll). So, this will not work under Linux or Mac.
