Greetings,

I'm looking at the classes from winstl_version_info.h. I need to retrieve the "ProductVersion" value of the running module. I found the methods to get the fixed-info fields, but couldn't find anything to get StringFileInfo values. Is there such a thing available?

Regards,
Dimitri

Hi Dimitri

Unfortunately, this was a late addition to v1.7.1, and the StringFileInfo functionality has not yet been added. I plan to do this for v1.8, of which a beta should be available sometime next month.

If you can wait a few weeks (perhaps giving me a reminder in early July), I will
be adding it then.

Cheers

Hi Matthew,

This is the reminder you asked for.
Any news on the upcoming 1.8 version?

Regards,
Dimitri

Thanks. It's going to be a little while longer, I'm afraid, as I'm mired in compiler issues with the D template library. ;/

Remind me again in a fortnight? ;)

I've added some new components in the 1.7.2 beta just released, including a path class in UNIXSTL and WinSTL. Nothing much else has happened as I've been busy on other things.

Cheers

Try this out. I've tested it out a fair bit, but it's still very early alpha state.

I've also included the source of my test program, which works fine for me with VC 6 & 7.1, and Intel 8.0
