Hi,
We are developing an MFC application, which makes calls to GetVersionInfo() at runtime; We know that versioning information is processed through version.dll; So, we concluded that, without version.dll, accessing the version info. would not be possible. Does this mean that we have to ship version.dll along with our application ? We have found that version.dll does not figure in the list of redistributable dlls; But it is present in the system32 folder of Win NT 4.0. We feel that version.dll should exist on all OS, namely, Win-95, Win-98 and Win-NT. But, we are not sure about this. Our clients would be working on laptops, with the OS being Win-95 or Win-98. Does anyone know for sure that version.dll always exists on any machine running on Win-95 or Win-98 ? i.e., does it come along with the OS ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
