VersionCompare fails — NSIS Forum Archive

Hi Community.

I wrote a macro named GetMostRecentFile. It compares two files and delivers the winner back.

Example call of Macro:

${GetMostRecentFile} "$PLUGINSDIR\${DLL}" "${_platformpath}\${_applicationpath}\${DLL}" $0

The "GetVersion" Macro:

; --- Requirements
!ifndef LOGICLIB
    !include "LogicLib.nsh"
!endif
; -- GetVersion
!define MACRO_GETVERSION_INCLUDED
!define GetVersion "!insertmacro GetVersion"
!macro GetVersion _GetVersionFile _GetVersionVar
    ClearErrors
    
    StrCpy $R0 ""
    StrCpy $R1 ""
    StrCpy $R2 ""
    StrCpy $R3 ""
    StrCpy $R4 ""
    StrCpy $R5 ""
    
    GetDLLVersion "${_GetVersionFile}" $R0 $R1
    ${If} ${Errors}
        DetailPrint "Could not get version info from '${_GetVersionFile}'"
    ${EndIf}
        
    IntOp $R2 $R0 / 0x00010000 ; $R2 now contains major version
    IntOp $R3 $R0 & 0x0000FFFF ; $R3 now contains minor version
    IntOp $R4 $R1 / 0x00010000 ; $R4 now contains release
    IntOp $R5 $R1 & 0x0000FFFF ; $R5 now contains build
    
    StrCpy ${_GetVersionVar} "$R2.$R3.$R4.$R5"
!macroend

The GetMostRecentFile macro:

; --- Requirements
!ifndef LOGICLIB
    !include "LogicLib.nsh"
!endif
!ifndef WORDFUNC_INCLUDED
    !include "WordFunc.nsh"
!endif
!ifndef MACRO_GETVERSION_INCLUDED

!insertmacro VersionCompare
Var _VersionCompareFile1
Var _VersionCompareFile2
Var _VersionCompareResult

!define GetMostRecentFile '!insertmacro GetMostRecentFile'

!macro GetMostRecentFile _file1 _file2 _var

    ${GetVersion} "${_file1}" $_VersionCompareFile1
    LogText "${_file1}: Version - $_VersionCompareFile1"

            LogText "Result: $_VersionCompareResult"
            
            ${If} $_VersionCompareResult == "0" ; equal
                LogText "Result mean: Equal"
                StrCpy ${_var} "${_file1}" ; copy back the first value
                
            ${ElseIf} $_VersionCompareResult == "1" ; file 1 newer
                LogText "Result mean: ${_file1} is newer"
                StrCpy ${_var} "${_file1}" ; copy back the first value
                
            ${ElseIf} $_VersionCompareResult == "2" ; file 2 newer
                LogText "Result mean: ${_file2} is newer"
                StrCpy ${_var} "${_file2}" ; copy back the second value
                
            ${EndIf}
        ${Else}
            DetailPrint "GetMostRecentFile failed on '${_file2}'. Returning ${_file1} as result."
            StrCpy ${_var} "${_file2}" 
            
        ${EndIf}
            
    ${Else}
        DetailPrint "GetMostRecentFile failed on '${_file1}'. Returning ${_file1} as result."
        StrCpy ${_var} "${_file1}" 
    ${EndIf}
    
${Else}
    ${IfNot} ${FileExists} "${_file1}"
        DetailPrint "GetMostRecentFile Error: '${_file1}' does not exists."
        StrCpy ${_var} "${_file2}" 
        
    ${EndIf}
    
    ${IfNot} ${FileExists} "${_file2}"
        DetailPrint "GetMostRecentFile Error: '${_file2}' does not exists."
        StrCpy ${_var} "${_file1}" 
        
    ${EndIf}
${EndIf}
!macroend

And the (frustrating) result:

IfFileExists: file "C:\DOCUME~1\VIRTUA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\nssF.tmp\NAMEOF.dll" exists, jumping 0
IfFileExists: file "C:\Program Files\product\NAMEOF.dll" exists, jumping 0

Most recent version 'C:\DOCUME~1\VIRTUA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\nssF.tmp\NAMEOF.dll' is copied to 'C:\Program Files\product\'

The older version is detected as newer version? Am I doing something wrong which I don't see here? :|

thnx
