_WinAPI_VerQueryValue returns error number 1813 on some files

[Factfinder]

Hi,

 

When I try to find version information  of some files with _WinAPI_VerQueryValue function, I get error 1813 (0x715) that is:

" The specified resource language ID cannot be found in the image file. "

That is my script:

$path = 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SkypeApp_14.39.180.0_x64__kzf8qxf38zg5c\SkypeBackgroundHost.exe'
$pData = 0
_WinAPI_GetFileVersionInfo($path, $pData)
If $pData Then
    $Ret = _WinAPI_VerQueryValue($pData)
    MsgBox(0, '',  _WinAPI_GetLastError())
EndIf

Please note that the specified file has a different folder name on different systems. But the file is running on each Windows 10 system.

The file has version information like company name when uploaded to the virustotal site: https://www.virustotal.com/file/bade0a73136fc74467e9ac232f2db4ec9ba761c346e879b9813c9945e9c15021/analysis/1550353456/

Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using PowerShell to get Windows App Version, something like Get-AppxPackage or Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online the latter is usually for apps installed within the image.

No, I would like to do it with Autoit. Thanks for the reply though.
