How to get version info from resources?

Question

I have the Version Info in resources declared:

100 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1,0,0,2
PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,2
FILEOS VOS_NT
FILETYPE VFT_APP
{
    BLOCK \"String         


        

Answer 1

The above would create a heap corruption error message in debug mode, such as "Free Heap block b753e70 modified at b753ed4 after it was freed". Someone has posted this problem many years ago at http://microsoft.public.win32.programmer.kernel.narkive.com/mqoHgVwM/verqueryvalue-bug. It is still hapenning today. One can make the message disappear by making dwSize sufficiently large, such as multiplying it by 4.
