Has anyone ever seen a way to get the DLL version number of a Windows API file without using LoadLibrary. I am having a problem when I make multiple calls, I keep getting an exception that my exception handler does not handle as it is in the API file. Currently I am using the DllGetVersion function that is available to the Windows API but I would prefer to either not load the DLL at all or load it as a data file. This is the routine I am using now (left out the exception handler proc because it is tested and working)
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

I saw article in c++ on how to get version information from dll's without using API
it might help http://www.codeproject.com/file/VersionInfo.asp

Thanks Mikky,
I thought that was only to use on open modules, I will try it on a lib that is not open.

Hi, donkey :)
I used to do that to get the WinAsm version in my old addins, I'll post some code if you still need it. I used the same approach as in the article in Mikky's post.

Hi QvasiModo,
Thanks but it was more just a brain block thing. I have had source on my site written by me to do it for some time but just couldn't think straight or something. The problem is resolved and the source is in the GatherAPI application.

Donkey you've got to stop losing your sources :)

That's the real kicker, I didn't lose the source and I knew it could be done that way. But after a week of struggling with the PE file format and reading through endless white-papers on it from MS, I geuss I was just looking for the most complicated way because I was getting used to it. Sometimes the brain just refuses to reboot and you end up asking a question like that one, no harm though.
