Using #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion info in script


Recommended Posts

I use the #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion and #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_FileVersion_AutoIncrement compiler directives and find them very useful. Is there a way that I can determine the AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_FileVersion value at runtime from within the script?

I recognize that if I'm running a compiled .EXE I can get the version number by using FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath), but I want to be able to find this value whether I'm running script or an EXE. I would think it should be available, since it's sitting right there in the script; I just don't know how to read it.

You'd have to set a variable inside the script that is set to the current version. You'd have to manually update this variable every time your script's version is changed.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I thought of that, but it defeats the purpose of the #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_FileVersion_AutoIncrement directive. There's gotta be a way...

I'm going to investigate using the #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Before directive together with the %fileversion% variable to store this information somewhere -- an INI file or the Registry or something. Still too kludgy for my liking.

I'm pretty sure that the #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Before directive is only acted on when you're compiling the script, not when you're running it from SciTE.

Kinda messy....but just an idea.
