Retrieves the specified information about the version of an executable or DLL.

Example
WINDEVUser code (UMC)
ProgVersion is string
ProgVersion = ExeInfo(exeVersion, "Appli.exe")
IF ProgVersion <> "2.0A" THEN
Error("Invalid program version")
END
WINDEVUser code (UMC)
// Retrieve the application name (without the full path)
ProgName = ExeInfo("OriginalFilename", "App.exe")
// The executable was not renamed
ProgName = fExtractPath(ExeInfo(exeName), fFile + fExtension)
WINDEVUser code (UMC)
sExeDir is string 
IF InTestMode() = True THEN 
// In test mode, return the runtime directory
sExeDir = fCurrentDir()
ELSE
sExeDir = ExeInfo(exeDirectory)
END
Syntax
<Result> = ExeInfo(<Keyword> [, <Executable name>])
<Result>: Character string
  • Requested information.
  • Empty string ("") if there is no information or if the function failed.
<Keyword>: String constant

Program execution mode

To get the program execution mode, use the exeMode constant:
ProgMode = ExeInfo(exeMode)
The function result can correspond to:
  • "16" if the Windows program is compiled in 16 bits,
  • "32" if the Windows program is compiled in 32 bits,
  • "64" if the Windows program is compiled in 64 bits,

"CompanyName" "OriginalFilename"
"FileDescription" "PrivateBuild"
"FileVersion" "ProductName"
"InternalName" "ProductVersion"
"LegalCopyright" "SpecialBuild"

Executing the function in test mode in Windows

When ExeInfo is executed in test mode from WINDEV, the information returned about the current executable is that of "WDTst", the WINDEV test engine (located in the "Programs" subdirectory of the WINDEV installation directory).
Component: wd290std.dll
Minimum version required
