How to type a number with multiple "periods" (IE: 11.0.14)

[Ponto0n]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a script that I'm using to verify the correct version of software by using FileGetVersion. When I define the variable with the version number if I add another "." after 11.0 it doesn't seem to recognize the number anymore and I get an error saying I have an error in my expression. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I have no idea. Does anyone know what I have to do to allow me to type the full version number of 11.0.14?

 

Local $sFileVersion2 = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe")
Local $sCorrectVersion = 11.0.14

If Not FileExists("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe") Then
   RunWait("\\kmmdtmachine\c$\DeploymentShare$\Applications\Acrobat XI Standard\Acrobat.exe")
EndIf
If Not $sFileVersion2 = $sCorrectVersion Then
   RunWait("\\kmmdtmachine\c$\DeploymentShare$\Applications\Acrobat XI Standard Upgrade\Acrobat Upgrade.exe")
EndIf
If $sFileVersion2 = $sCorrectVersion Then
   MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Version Correct", "Acrobat version" & $sFileVersion2 & "is install. This is the Correct Version", 5)
EndIf

Local $sFileVersion2 = StringReplace(FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"), ".", "")
Local $sCorrectVersion = 11014

Get rid of the periods and do a comparison on two ints.

Thank you! Sadly, I never would've figured that out...

Have a look in the help file at _VersionCompare() I think you will find it makes it a lot simpler.

Example:

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Global $sResult = ""
Global $sVersion1 = "3.3.10.17763"
Global $sVersion2 = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files (x86)\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe")
If NOT @error Then
    Global $iRes = _VersionCompare($sVersion1, $sVersion2)
    Switch $iRes
        Case 0
            $sResult = "Both versions are the same"
        Case 1
            $sResult = "$sVersion1 is greater (newer)"
        Case 1
            $sResult = "$sVersion1 is less (older)"
    EndSwitch
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '_VersionCompare Results', $sResult)
Else
    $sResult = "Could not ger version for file"
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '_VersionCompare Results', $sResult)
EndIf

Thanks for posting! Interesting, I didn't know this function existed. What you posted makes sense to me, kind of. What's posted in the help file confuses the hell out of me. I'm extremely new at scripting. I'm only using it to automate some software installs so the advanced stuff totally escapes me!
