How to Determinate the Version of an Executable Built with LabVIEW
Sunday, February 03, 2008
Below I would like to summarize possible methods for determining the version of an executable built with LabVIEW.
The problem is that App.Version will return not a version of the excutable, but LabVIEW Run-Time version:
So, if you want to get version of built executable, we need to use some tricks for doing this.
Method 1 - Use Microsoft .Net
This method described on NI.com. Probably this is most easiest way:
Method 2 - Use WinAPI
If you don't like .Net you can do it with Win API:
Method 3 - Use CIN Node (or Dll Wrapper). This is variant of Method 2 - the difference, that calls WinAPI from SubVIs incorporated into CIN (or you can do this with DLL wrapper as well):
