Playing with this and decided to share with the community... Cut and paste code to test.pb in the C:\TEMP folder. Change the version info in Compiler/Compiler Options/Version Info. Create an executable test.exe and run the program. Change the values to suit your taste.

Likely because of file location and permissions...

Code: Select all

Debug GetFileProperty("C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1712.3351.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Calculator.exe", #FVI_CompanyName)

I tried your code in another folder and an actual file:

Code: Select all

Debug GetFileProperty("C:\Latest Home\7-Zip\7z.exe", #FVI_CompanyName)
Debug GetFileProperty("C:\Latest Home\7-Zip\7z.exe", #FVI_FileVersion)
Debug GetFileProperty("C:\Latest Home\7-Zip\7z.exe", #FVI_OriginalFilename)
Debug GetFileProperty("C:\Latest Home\7-Zip\7z.exe", #FVI_ProductVersion)

Results:

Code: Select all

Get info on win32 apps works on Windows 10. On some universal apps or whatever you call them they return empty results.

Found out that setting tempcli to 040904B0 works (English). Also tried GetFileVersionInfoSizeEx with #FILE_VER_GET_NEUTRAL | #FILE_VER_GET_LOCALISED but still no result from VerQueryValue.

Anyway... seems like a problem specific to only few apps like Calculator. Another app like the Calendar C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.8827.21595.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\HxCalendarAppImm.exe does return info...
