what you need is GetProductVersion ;)

Great! Its usability is not restricted to Widnows, it works on Mac OS X with Carbon widgetset too.

Thank you for this useful work!

But it doesn't work with Linux, as Binaries on Linux don't contain such headers.
So if you plan to release an app for Linux, you'll have to maintain a global constant for the version number, as we do in LazPaint for example.

Best Regards.

For me it also works on Linux (openSUSE 11.4, i386, Lazarus 0.9.30, FPC 2.4.2, GTK 2 widgetset).
