Getting built exe version

[Michael Aivaliotis]

The 8.20 exe builder allows setting of a version number. Is there any way to access this programmatically within a built app? I tried the App version property but it returns the LV version.

I use this code:

Found it on the NI-ftp site and modified it a bit, the down side is that it uses .NET doesn't work on all computers.

Can't understand how that works. Can you attach the code or give some more details? I mean what class is that?

I mean what class is that?

Is the .NET class "System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo".

Here is a generic about VI that I created a while back. It is not perfect but gets the job done. It uses the same .net technique.you would think that NI would be able to incorporate this into LV.
