Extracting versioninfo from the installer.exe at install time
Hello,

I would like to extract versioninfo from the installer.exe when the installer.exe is run. Is this possible?

The same info that can be seen when right-clicking on the file on win32.

I can do with an external program but it would be cleaner if there was a way to get that using the installer.
Thanks.

I think there's a plugin for that, search on wiki.

?! why should you extract compile-time information from an installer you wrote yourself?

you do know the information on compile time so you can hardcode it!
