GetDllVersionLocal and files from subfolders
I have problems with using GetDllVersionLocal. When trying to do that (in Section) I got error reading file. Probably problem is that file fo which I want to check version is (when building installer) in subfolder. If it is in the same folder as .nsi it is ok.
Is there any way to do that?

It would help if you showed the code that does not work for you.

A quick test program which used this code (based upon the example in the manual)

  GetDllVersionLocal "test\ChromeSetup.exe" $R0 $R1
  IntOp $R2 $R0 / 0x00010000
  IntOp $R3 $R0 & 0x0000FFFF
  IntOp $R4 $R1 / 0x00010000
  IntOp $R5 $R1 & 0x0000FFFF
  StrCpy $0 "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5"
  DetailPrint "'test\ChromeSetup.exe' version = $0"

  GetDllVersionLocal "..\game\SETUP.EXE" $R0 $R1
  IntOp $R2 $R0 / 0x00010000
  IntOp $R3 $R0 & 0x0000FFFF
  IntOp $R4 $R1 / 0x00010000
  IntOp $R5 $R1 & 0x0000FFFF
  StrCpy $0 "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5"
  DetailPrint "'..\game\SETUP.EXE'    version = $0"

'test\ChromeSetup.exe' version = 1.2.183.13
'..\game\SETUP.EXE'    version = 5.10.130.0

It's following code, where dir is directory from which when building installer app.exe is copied.

    SetOverwrite on
       IfFileExists "$INSTDIR\app.exe" stex stnoex
       stex:
               GetDllVersionLocal "dir\app.exe" $R0 $R1
               IntOp $R2 $R0 / 0x00010000
               IntOp $R3 $R0 & 0x0000FFFF
               IntOp $R4 $R1 / 0x00010000
               IntOp $R5 $R1 & 0x0000FFFF
               StrCpy $0 "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5"
               ${GetFileVersion} "$INSTDIR\app.exe" $1
               DetailPrint $0
               DetailPrint $1
               DetailPrint $version_status

What is the exact error message you are getting?

When I copied your code into my example script it compiled without errors and the resulting program worked OK. Here is the relevant part of the compiler log:

SetOverwrite: on
IfFileExists: "$INSTDIR\app.exe" ? stex : stnoex
GetDLLVersionLocal: dir\app.exe (327690,8519680)->($R0,$R1)
IntOp: $R2=$R0/0x00010000
IntOp: $R3=$R0&0x0000FFFF
IntOp: $R4=$R1/0x00010000
IntOp: $R5=$R1&0x0000FFFF
StrCpy $0 "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5" () ()
!insertmacro: GetFileVersionCall
!insertmacro: end of GetFileVersionCall
DetailPrint: "$0"
DetailPrint: "$1"

[SOLVED] GetDllVersionLocal and files from subfolders
Sh...t our developers forgot to put version to this app. That's why I had problem - it was on the first place and I didn't saw it...
