How to get the "Product Version" of the build/packaged exe

Post by ginolard »

I'd like to implement some sort of auto-update feature in the tool I'm writing. So I would like to check the product version of the latest version on the file server against the product version of the exe the user is running

This is normally simple enough with the Reflection namespace but it returns 0.0.0.0

Any suggestions?

This is an automated post. A real person will respond soon.

Thank you for posting, ginolard.

Did you remember to include the following?
  • 1. Product, version and build (e.g. Product: PowerShell Studio 2014, Version & Build: 4.1.71. Version and build information can be found in the product's About box accessed by clicking the blue icon with the 'i' in the upper right hand corner of the ribbon.)
    2. Specify if you are running a 32 or 64 bit version
    3. Specify your operating system and if it is 32 or 64 bit.
    4. Attach a screenshot if your issue can be seen on the screen
    5. Attach a zip file if you have multiple files (crash reports, log entries, etc.) related to your issue.
If not, please take a moment to edit your original post or reply to this one.

*** Make sure you do not post any licensing information ***
