GetFileVersion Linker error

[Hubibi]

Hi,

in my application i try to read the file version of an .exe file.
If i try to compile i receive this error:

1>PICSAnalyseReport.obj : error LNK2019: reference to a undefined external  symbol "_GetFileVersionInfoA@16" in Funktion ""public: class ATL::CStringT<char,class StrTraitMFC<char,class ATL::ChTraitsCRT<char> > > __thiscall CPICSAnalyseReport::GetPICSProgramVersion(int)" (?GetPICSProgramVersion@CPICSAnalyseReport@@QAE?AV?$CStringT@DV?$StrTraitMFC@DV?$ChTraitsCRT@D@ATL@@@@@ATL@@H@Z)".

How can I handle this?
I use Visual Studio 2005 and mfc.

thanks for your efforts.

You need to add version.lib file as input libraries

Ok.
How can I link .lib files in my project?
#include doesn´t work.

you can use

#pragma comment(lib, "version.lib")

The above pragma causes the linker to search for the version.lib library while linking. The
linker searches first in the current working directory and then in the path specified in the LIB
environment variable.

thanx
