Thanks, JFX!

I have been missing this, and other ones either don't work for x64 or have other issues.

Regards,
Galapo.

Yes, I also was looking for an alternative and the best I could find was VersInfoEx
But after adding the latest patch, it compiled to over 400 KB

But now I finally managed to write Shell Extensions in PureBasic

That's what I was using too.

But this is better.

Hi Atari800xl,

well I don't know why SIW2 choose one bootmgr over another, you have to ask him about.

However both bootmgr files are identical in code and file version.
The only difference is in the code signing here. One seems to have a time stamp one not.

Properly 2 groups of MS developers:

1th - for the ISO image files
2nd - for the winpe (boot.wim)

Both sign the files they use. So small difference in file sizes occur.

Updated to version 2.1.

Some bugs are fixed and install no longer needs admin rights.

Thanks JFX! VersionTabXP is great.

Updated to version 2.3!

- there was a bug with 0 byte value strings

« **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2018, 06:52:26 PM »

Hi JFX,

minor thing :

File Version at top: reads decimal separator from host (which is comma (,) here) which should be hardcoded dot (.)

ex:
Properties - Version - File version (AT TOP) : 9,0,1,19813
but version always with dot (.)

Interesting but there is no such mistake here:
Properties - Version - File version (Inside Left Box) -> right box: 9.0.1.19813
only at AT TOP

since version is not a math operation, windows properties version also always use dot (.)
without reading decimal seperator (since any windows I know .. I guess 3.1 ;) but better say XP )
Properties - Details - Product version : 9.0.1.19813

Just a small thing

Thanks again for VersionXP

Good catch

Re uploaded, no version change this time.

« **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2018, 08:25:31 PM »

Hi JFX,

whatever you changed, result reverse now:
Properties - Version - File version (AT TOP) ---> Is correct (.) dot

Properties - Version - File version (Inside Left Box) -> right box: --> not correct (,) comma

Actually, it's correct.
The value strings are up to the developer, but ok ', ' is unusual.

Wonder who had this brilliant idea to put the keys next to each other.

Well, in fact, '. ' was unusual at the begining.

(you can see red also comma ', ' )

as usual, British like to do opposite what French to, hence British Ministry of Technology choose '.'
USA followed ... Computer development goes with USA ... etc. etc.

Anyway, it is up to author but as far as I know "Software versioning" use '.' not "decimal seperator"

During time I was traveling around It was fun reading history where all these began
http://www.wiki-zero.com/index.php?q=aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTXUlRTElQjglQTVhbW1hZF9pYm5fTSVDNSVBQnMlQzQlODFfYWwtS2h3JUM0JTgxcml6bSVDNCVBQg

All like Roman Empire, but they failed with number system.

and life goes ...

New version is up, fixing some bugs and adds support for 16Bit executables

Installation now requires again admin rights (else it would not be loaded by a file manager with admin rights).

I just realize,
Win10--.exe File--Properties--Details do not show some info that exists before with XP

Thanks again VersionTabXP , all info available.

ref. http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2390.msg31988#msg31988

@JFX

maybe something to write to topic post:
VersionTabXP shows all information written by author where Win10 fails.

And I still most like easy Copy Paste info with VersionTabXP

Hi JFX,

I accidentally catch a little failure
edit: link removed (no redistributable)

I guess the reason behind is very old Delphi compiler .........

*
Maybe I am wrong, but better to ask :
I had to reinstall windows....
I remember dll from you that show us architecture and compiled info of .exe / .dll ?
or my memory is wrong......
