How to get a dll version?


Recommended Posts

Greetings!

I seeking in the forum how to get a version from a dll file.

The example from the help guide about DllStructGetData does not working for me, when I try change the dll file.

I thinking is the DllStructCreate("dword dwOSVersionInfoSize;dword dwMajorVersion;dword dwMinorVersion;dword dwBuildNumber;dword dwPlatformId;char szCSDVersion[128]") needed new dwords for the specific dll file, its is corretly?

If is the point... How do get this new dwords? Or thats dwords is the same for all dll files?

I write here because I need get a version from sqlite3.dll.

I don't have much experience with dll files.

The sqlite3.dll in the c:\windows\system32 have a version table in the properties files, and your dll version is 3.6.22.0.

I download the new version sqlite3.dll, version file 3.7.5, but, the new archive does not contaim a description's tables how to the file 3.6.22.0.

If I know or unknow the version of dll file my script is working too...

But, that is the point, I want know how do that.

Please, some one can help me?

Best regards.

The native SQLite dll as provided by either the SQLite.org site or by AutoIt (sqlite.dll.au3 include is a bit outdated but still solid for most uses) does not provide versionning information. In order to reliably obtain this information the simplest is to _SQLite_Startup("mypah\Offending.dll") perform an _SQLiteOpen() and issue a _SQLite_QuerySingleRow(-1, "select sqlite_version();", $row) and then you get the version string is in $row[0]. Do a _SQLite_ShutDown() to be sure to unload the tested .dll

You also have access to compile-time option by use of the sqlite_compileoption_get(N) function (see sqlite docs from the sqlite.org site) and the sqlite_source_id() function which gives you the exact description of the source version used from the Fossil repository.

Placing a specific dll version in c:\windows\system32 by yourself is not recommended, as a number of commonly used programs (FireFox, Abobe ***, iTunes, ...) tend to install and register their own sqlite .dll version. In some (rare) circumstances, changing them to newer releases may lead to issues. I strongly recommend you manage your own version, which is safer and easier to update without fear of dark corner side effect.
