Hello madschi,

we use a couple of 3rd Party Delphi Components. We need to know which version of that 3rd Party Component is in use.

madExcept is the only 3rd Party Component that does not include VERSIONINFO in the compiled *.bpl files.
Without that it is not possible for us to know which version of madExcept is currently in use.

Is this something you could consider adding?

Thank you!

madExcept.pas exports this for you to use:

Code: Select all

const
  CMadExceptVersionString : PAnsiChar = '5.0.0';
  CMadExceptVersionNumber = $05000000;

If you need to figure out the version "externally" (not from within your own process), you can look at the resource section at "RCData\DESCRIPTION\0". It's a Unicode String containing the madExcept version.

"RCData\DESCRIPTION\0" will do.
Thank you!
