Hi Ryan,
.NET provied easy access to a process's version info using
FileVersionInfo class located under System.Diagnostics namespace.
For example, you can get file version:
Dim info As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo
info = System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo( "c:\rich-text-
editor.exe")
MsgBox(info.FileVersion.ToString)
Look at other properties and method members under
"System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo" to get more info about process's
name and version info.
Hope this helps,
Onur Güzel
