CVersionInfo
v1.02 An MFC class to encapsulate the Windows Version API
This simple little class encapsulates the SDK calls which
access version info from Win32 files. Most executables and DLL's have a
VS_VERSION_INFO resource associated with them and this class provides a simple
MFC class to programmatically access this information.
Features
- Code is UNICODE enabled and
build configurations are provided.
- All code compiles cleanly at
level 4.
- Small footprint, total size
amounts to just c. 300 lines of code.
The enclosed zip file contains
the CVersionInfo source code, documentation and a simple MFC
dialog based app which allows the version info details of any file to be
displayed.

any product (commercial, shareware, freeware or otherwise) when your product
