Hi,
There is also the sigcheck utility from sysinternals that gives a summarized view of the file version. Not a complete dump like yours though.

| Relayer's comment - A fix for this
Anonymous | 16:52 29 Sep '05 |

The fix to this "problem" is not in the code, but in a setting on your PC. See this article. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic-link_library_search_order.asp
If you have no such entry, the DEFAULT behavior appears to be INCORRECT in the article. Create the key if it doesnt exist and set its value to 0.

Note that the search order ALWAYS will look for the target in the same directory that ShowVer was launched in ... so make sure its in the path, but isolated from other EXEs and DLLs. So, I solved my own problem ... and apologies to Mr. Peck for inferring that he programmed this badly!

| Understanding the code

 I was wondering if someone could into detail for me on whats going on in the code with these 2 functions
#define roundoffs(a,b,r) (((byte*)(b) - (byte*)(a) + ((r)-1)) & ~((r)-1))
#define roundpos(b, a, r) (((byte*)(a))+roundoffs(a,b,r))
and why they are needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

| Loading ALL strings from my stringtable
Alex Evans | 16:05 4 May '05 |

Hi there
How can I (using VC6 / MFC) load ALL strings from a stringtable, one-by-one, getting the IDS value as well as the actual text, for all strings in my program's stringtable?
Thanks

Showver seems to find a file in the path before it finds one in the immediate directory. If for example file X.EXE is in the current directory and in c:\windows\system32, issuing the command "showver x.exe " gives me the version info of the copy in c:\windows\system32. To get the current folder I use "showver .\x.exe" ... but I shouldnt have to. Can this be fixed?

Hi all,
I have a problem about a VC Gui module to call a VB form module. When I click the button in VC UI to launch the VB form module. It works fine, but it causes problems when I close it.
The error is to trigger Window Auto send message:

Thank you.
But this example is not run in Win9X.
Unicode problem?

I modified the original code as written below. It works on a win98 FIRST edition machine.
As you see, the structures don't have the wType field and use CHAR instead of WCHAR.
Please, note that I don't use the showFIXEDFILEINFO() method: maybe you have to modify something to use it.

First off, great handy little utility.
The zip file is missing resource.h, but that's easily worked around.
This program will also crash if used on a program (VB Exe or DLL, for example) because of this line
#490 ASSERT(1 == pSFI->wType); // ?? it just seems to be this way...
Which if commented out, works fine. I think the sample exe distributed is the program compiled in Debug mode.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. This reply is delayed because I was just on vacation.
I'll re-post without the reference to resource.h in the ShowVer.rc. My resource.h has nothing in it; I meant to leave it out but I forgot to purge that reference to it.
I'll check out with some VB-generated files too. You're right, I included the Debug executable version because I wanted to see which assert's are valid. I figured most people here would be comfortable rebuilding it. I'm interested in your opinion about this assumption.
Thanks!

| File Date in VS_FIXEDFILEINFO
Claudius Mokler | 2:24 19 Jun '02 |
|

I have been using version information resources in my applications since a long time ago.
What leaves me baffled are the two members of the VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure named dwFileDateMS and dwFiledateLS.
Neither did I find a way to generate values for these members by using the resource compiler, nor have I ever seen anything but zero in these members.
The documentation (Platform SDK) states
dwFileDateMS
Specifies the most significant 32 bits of the file's 64-bit binary creation date and time stamp.
dwFileDateLS
Specifies the least significant 32 bits of the file's 64-bit binary creation date and time stamp.
but this does not seem to be the case.
Any clues?

In my tests I also saw only zero in these values. I was not able to discover any reference to either setting or reading them in my MSDN CD, other than printing out their values. I suspect this is something Microsoft put in but never supported.
For me it's generally enough to look at the file timestamp, but it would be nice to see the original date/time in the versioninfo data. Unfortunately it would have to be poked in after the link was complete by a separate binary editor in order to match the creation date/time from the linker. Either that or the linker would need to be made aware of Versioninfo resources and poke the time in there itself. This is probably something Microsoft didn't find to be worth the trouble.

Hi,
I am not replying to this message in particular, but I could did not know how else to contact you. I was wondering, if there was a way to get something like a file listing functionality added to this utility. I mean if I do a showver.exe *.exe then it should list the file information of all the executables. Do you think this is possible to do in this. I am not too conversant with C++, and hence, I do not know how to work around this problem.
Would be grateful if you can help me with this.

Just use a for loop in a .bat file. Redirect the output to another file.
