QuestionObtaining the version info of external app [solved] Pin
PaulowniaK17-May-10 19:43
PaulowniaK17-May-10 19:43 
I call LoadLibrary in my program to call up a 3rd party DLL which in turn runs some EXE.

I want to know the version info of this external EXE in my C++ program so I can decide whether to issue a particular command to the loaded DLL. Is there a way to do this?

I think I can get the path to the EXE from the registry, and of course, I know the name of the EXE.

If I don't check the version and send the command blindly, some quite nasty and inconvenient things happen (the hardware I'm trying to control with my program goes a bit nuts). I can ask the user to check the version of all the bits and pieces of software they have installed on their PC before running my program, but human error isn't always avoidable. I need an automatic way of ensuring that certain commands are NOT issued so that the operator doesn't have to spend an hour recovering the hardware from a limbo state.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...
