win32api .GetFileVersionInfo()

[xytho33]

I need to be able to programatically get the version info from a
windows DLL preferably in the same format as what is displayed in the
properties tab.

I was overjoyed to find Mark Hammond's Python Extensions
(http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/) The package includes a
little demo program "filevers.p y" distributed in the win32api download
that does exactly what I need.

Unfortunately I get this error when I execute the script:

C:\work>getfile ver.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\work\getfil ever.py", line 8, in ?
d=win32api.GetF ileVersionInfo( fname, '\\')
pywintypes.erro r: (1812, 'GetFileVersion Info:GetFileVer sionInfoSize',
'The specified image file did not contain a resource section.')

Anybody know what this means, or more importantly, if there is a
work-around? "fname", in the code snippit above, contains the name of
a DLL compiled with MS Visual Studio .NET 2003.

Thanks,

[Peter Hansen]
