Description
Use the VersionInfo property to obtain the version information associated with the file.
Declaration
aqFileInfoObj.VersionInfo
| Read-Only Property | An aqFileVersionInfo object |
| aqFileInfoObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an aqFileInfo object | |||
Applies To
The property is applied to the following object:
Property Value
An aqFileVersionInfo object that contains version information for the file.
If the file does not contain any version information, the property returns a null object (Nothing in VBScript, nil in DelphiScript, None in Python, null in JavaScript, JScript, C++Script and C#Script).
Remarks
Version information can only be present in binary files (executables, DLLs and so on); text files do not have version information.
To obtain the version number of a running executable, you can use the Process.FileVersionInfo property.
Example
The following code snippet logs version information for Notepad:
JavaScript, JScript
function FileVersionInfoSample()
{
var FileName = Sys.OSInfo.WindowsDirectory + "\\notepad.exe";
var VerInfo = aqFileSystem.GetFileInfo(FileName).VersionInfo;
Log.Message("File version: " +
VerInfo.FileMajorVersion + "." +
VerInfo.FileMinorVersion + "." +
VerInfo.FileBuildVersion + "." +
VerInfo.FileRevisionVersion);
Log.Message("Description: " + VerInfo.FileDescription);
Log.Message("Product: " + VerInfo.ProductName);
Log.Message("Company: " + VerInfo.CompanyName);
}
Python
def FileVersionInfoSample():
FileName = Sys.OSInfo.WindowsDirectory + "\\notepad.exe"
VerInfo = aqFileSystem.GetFileInfo(FileName).VersionInfo
Log.Message("File version: " + str(VerInfo.FileMajorVersion) + "." + str(VerInfo.FileMinorVersion) + "." + str(VerInfo.FileBuildVersion) + "." + str(VerInfo.FileRevisionVersion))
Log.Message("Description: " + str(VerInfo.FileDescription[0]))
Log.Message("Product: " + str(VerInfo.ProductName[0]))
Log.Message("Company: " + str(VerInfo.CompanyName[0]))VBScript
Sub FileVersionInfoSample
Dim FileName, VerInfo
FileName = Sys.OSInfo.WindowsDirectory & "\notepad.exe"
Set VerInfo = aqFileSystem.GetFileInfo(FileName).VersionInfo
Log.Message "File version: " & _
VerInfo.FileMajorVersion & "." & _
VerInfo.FileMinorVersion & "." & _
VerInfo.FileBuildVersion & "." & _
VerInfo.FileRevisionVersion
Log.Message "Description: " & VerInfo.FileDescription
Log.Message "Product: " & VerInfo.ProductName
Log.Message "Company: " & VerInfo.CompanyName
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure FileVersionInfoSample;
var FileName, VerInfo;
begin
FileName := Sys.OSInfo.WindowsDirectory + '\notepad.exe';
VerInfo := aqFileSystem.GetFileInfo(FileName).VersionInfo;
Log.Message('File version: ' +
VarToStr(VerInfo.FileMajorVersion) + '.' +
VarToStr(VerInfo.FileMinorVersion) + '.' +
VarToStr(VerInfo.FileBuildVersion) + '.' +
VarToStr(VerInfo.FileRevisionVersion));
Log.Message('Description: ' + VerInfo.FileDescription);
Log.Message('Product: ' + VerInfo.ProductName);
Log.Message('Company: ' + VerInfo.CompanyName);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function FileVersionInfoSample()
{
var FileName = Sys["OSInfo"]["WindowsDirectory"] + "\\notepad.exe";
var VerInfo = aqFileSystem["GetFileInfo"](FileName)["VersionInfo"];
Log["Message"]("File version: " +
