[DUG] Detecting version of running app

[Jeremy Coulter]

This thread is starting to look like some of the ones I saw on Google sites
:-)   Getting the "file" version is not the point.
Its getting the version of a RUNNING application when you dont know where
its running from to use GetFileVersion and pass the filename too.
Its ok tho, I have found a solution of sorts.
