Mike, If the file you specify does not exist or does not contain Windows version resources, AGETFILEVERSION( ) returns zero, and the array, if already created, remains unchanged. Does your MyApp.exe have Windows version resources? You should be able to see them in the Properties window from the Explorer right-click menu.
