In VS6, the Resource Tab shows a Folder called Version, with information
like FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION. How can I retrieve this info in my
program? For instance, how do I make the FILEVERSION to show up in a splash
screen?

The same question has been posted at
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.mfc. Not sure which is the correct group
for this.

Thanks in advance,
Harald

The method I use for this sort of thing is a header file containing the
version in various different formats, one for the resource versions in
the 1,0,0,0 format, and others as strings etc. It's just a bit
simpler than calling API functions.

I may be mistaken, but from memory I think this API throws exceptions,
so ensure to use try/catch around it.
