# FileGetVersion

Retrieves the version of a file.

    FileGetVersion, OutputVar , Filename

## Parameters

OutputVar

  The name of the variable in which to store the version number/string.

Filename

  The name of the target file. If a full path is not specified, this function uses the search sequence specified by the system LoadLibrary function. If omitted, the current file of the innermost enclosing File-Loop will be used instead.

## Error Handling

[v1.1.04+]: This command is able to throw an exception on failure. For more information, see Runtime Errors.

ErrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise.

A_LastError is set to the result of the operating system's GetLastError() function.

## Remarks

Most non-executable files (and even some EXEs) won't have a version, and thus OutputVar will be blank in these cases.
