I have a very strange problem with FSO.
I need to compare versions of 2 files located in different places. 1 of
them is in App.Path, and another one let's say in "C:\MyDLLs". Both have
the same name WorkorderXML.dll
I'm doing this:
Dim obj As New FileSystemObject
Dim strSource As String
strSource = "C:\MyDLLs\WorkorderXML.dll"
MsgBox obj.GetFileVersion(strSource)

If I run the project from VB, it returns correct version, if I run
compiled EXE, which is located in App.Path of VB project, it returns the
version of the file, located in App.Path directory, not in "C:\MyDLLs". If
I delete WorkorderXML.dll from App.Path, then even EXE returns the version
of the file from "C:\MyDLLs". If I return WorkorderXML.dll into App.Path,
EXE starts to return its version.
It drives me crazy, I spent several hours on this problem.
Any hint please.
