Determining Version of the app

[Arsalan]

How do I Determining the Version of app before I download the app from the web.

i.e Consider app is on www.aaa.con.
Now before downloading I want to check the version of ccc.exe. How to do this

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

The only way I know to check the version of an executable other than the one currently running is to use the Windows API. GetFileTime() will provide the creation time and date.

I have yet to find a function that obtains the actual version information. I know it's out there though...

Is it possible to use this funtion to determine the version of the file of remote computer.

What do you mean by "remote computer"? If it's on a Windows network, it should work like any other file. If you're talking about a file on an ftp server, you'll need to download it first.
