Hi Semedao,

I'm not very clear about what do you mean by "simple way" to get
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo for outlook addin. Do you mean how to get
the full path of the assembly and pass to GetVersionInfo()?

To get an assembly's full path, use following code:

System.Reflection.Assembly current =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
string exe = current.GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName;
FileVersionInfo fi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(exe);
Console.WriteLine(exe);
Console.WriteLine(fi.FileVersion);

I guess this also answers your second question.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question or you need further
information.
