Googling for "nsis file attributes" gives this page as the second result.

Also see this similar forum question found by searching the forum which also contains the answer you want:

Get File Version at Compile - Winamp & Shoutcast Forums

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

I would spoon feed you an example but... who am I kidding? There's no way in hell I ever would! Read FAQs, use Google and don't ask for a full example ever. If you can't even be bothered to read a FAQ before posting or use Google, why should anyone write code for you?

If I got it right you're talking about runtime no compile time.
