Last reviewed: January 26, 1998
Article ID: Q179903

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK)

SUMMARY

The documentation for the Win32 Versioning APIs incorrectly states that these functions will not work with 16-bit NE (New Executable) Images:

   As with other file installation functions, <api> works only with Win32
   file images.  It does not work with 16-bit Windows file images.

This information is incorrect. You can use these functions to examine the version resources of 16-bit NE files as well as 32-bit PE (Portable Executable) files.

MORE INFORMATION

The affected functions include:

   GetFileVersionInfo
   GetFileVersionInfoSize
   VerQueryValue

Additional query words: GetFileVersionInfo, GetFileVersionInfoSize,
VerQueryValue
Keywords : UsrRes kbdocerr
Version : WINNT:
