Hi All,

any ideas why GetFileVersion is returning nothing in the following piece of code? (The install path exists)

Cheers,
Daniel
Code:


Case KeyExist("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Elements\6.0
\InstallPath") = 1

	$InstallPath = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat 
Elements\6.0\InstallPath", "")
	If @ERROR = 0 AND Exist($InstallPath + "\Acrobat Elements.exe") = 1
		If Exist($InstallPath + "\Acrobat Elements.exe") = 1
			MessageBox("exists: " +GetFileVersion($InstallPath
 + "\Acrobat Elements.exe") , "Ds", 32)
		EndIf
		$AcrobatElementsVersion = GetFileVersion($InstallPath + "\Acrobat Elements.exe")
	EndIf

Les, I'm doing the following to (try) and use FSO: Code: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") $test = objFSO.GetFileVersion($InstallPath + "\Acrobat Elements.exe") However i'm getting an IDispatch pointer runtime error on the line where I assign the version number to $Test.... Is this the correct way to do it?

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	LOL Your VBer roots are showing. $objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") $test = $objFSO.GetFileVersion($InstallPath + "\Acrobat Elements.exe") Are you sure you are reading the path correctly out of the reg and that it does not already have a trailing hack? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

I've even tried hard coding the path with the KiX GetFilVersion function, but it still isn't working... I'm happy to use FSO, although it would be preferable for me to use KiX, does anyone have any ideas why it's not working?

Try the 4.51 beta release which tries to address at least some of the issues. If you are sure that you coded it right and that the 4.51 beta does not work, post your issue to the beta section. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
