Version Information APIs

The version information functions enable applications to query a version resource for file information and present the information in a clear format. This information includes the file's purpose, author, version number, and so on.

Functions

GetFileVersionInfo(PCWSTR lptstrFilename, int dwLen, Pointer<NativeType> lpData) → Win32Result<bool> version
Retrieves version information for the specified file.
GetFileVersionInfoEx(GET_FILE_VERSION_INFO_FLAGS dwFlags, PCWSTR lpwstrFilename, int dwLen, Pointer<NativeType> lpData) → Win32Result<bool> version
Retrieves version information for the specified file.
GetFileVersionInfoSize(PCWSTR lptstrFilename, Pointer<Uint32>? lpdwHandle) → Win32Result<int> version
Determines whether the operating system can retrieve version information for a specified file.
GetFileVersionInfoSizeEx(GET_FILE_VERSION_INFO_FLAGS dwFlags, PCWSTR lpwstrFilename, Pointer<Uint32> lpdwHandle) → Win32Result<int> version
Determines whether the operating system can retrieve version information for a specified file.
VerFindFile(VER_FIND_FILE_FLAGS uFlags, PCWSTR szFileName, PCWSTR? szWinDir, PCWSTR szAppDir, PWSTR szCurDir, Pointer<Uint32> puCurDirLen, PWSTR szDestDir, Pointer<Uint32> puDestDirLen) → VER_FIND_FILE_STATUS version
Determines where to install a file based on whether it locates another version of the file in the system.
VerInstallFile(VER_INSTALL_FILE_FLAGS uFlags, PCWSTR szSrcFileName, PCWSTR szDestFileName, PCWSTR szSrcDir, PCWSTR szDestDir, PCWSTR szCurDir, PWSTR szTmpFile, Pointer<Uint32> puTmpFileLen) → VER_INSTALL_FILE_STATUS version
Installs the specified file based on information returned from the VerFindFile function.
VerQueryValue(Pointer<NativeType> pBlock, PCWSTR lpSubBlock, Pointer<Pointer<NativeType>> lplpBuffer, Pointer<Uint32> puLen) → bool version
Retrieves specified version information from the specified version-information resource.
