Here after a function from one of my applications. Should do what you
are looking for.
procedure TRebuildForm.ExtractVersionInfo(DispProc : TDispProc);
const
InfoStr : array [1..10] of String =
('CompanyName', 'FileDescription', 'FileVersion',
'InternalName',
'LegalCopyright', 'LegalTradeMarks', 'OriginalFilename',
'ProductName', 'ProductVersion', 'Comments');
var
ExeName : String;
Len, I : Integer;
InfoSize : Integer;
InfoBuf : PChar;
Value : PChar;
Charset : DWORD;
Language : WORD;
begin
ExeName := Application.ExeName;
InfoSize := GetFileVersionInfoSize(PChar(ExeName), I);
if InfoSize > 0 then begin
InfoBuf := AllocMem(InfoSize);
GetFileVersionInfo(PChar(ExeName), 0, InfoSize, InfoBuf);
if VerQueryValue(InfoBuf, '\VarFileInfo\Translation',
Pointer(Value), Len) then begin
Language := PWORD(Value)^;
CharSet := PWORD(Value + 2)^;
end
else begin
Language := 0;
CharSet := 0;
end;
DispProc(Format('%-16s : ''%s''', ['Language',
IntToHex(Language, 4)]));
DispProc(Format('%-16s : ''%s''', ['Charset', IntToHex(Charset,
4)]));
for I := Low(InfoStr) to High(InfoStr) do begin
if VerQueryValue(InfoBuf,
PChar('StringFileInfo\' +
IntToHex(Language, 4) +
IntToHex(Charset, 4) + '\'+
InfoStr[I]),
Pointer(Value),
Len) then
DispProc(Format('%-16s : ''%s''', [InfoStr[i], Value]));
end;
FreeMem(InfoBuf, InfoSize);
end
else
DispProc('No FileVersionInfo found');
end;
