How to get a file's version under Windows XP

It is based on another post but it was so hard to find that I had to
post a full example for the next generations.
It's a shame that it takes such a long procedure just to get such basic
information.

Project settings: add Version.lib to libraries.

#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
LPTSTR lpszFilePath = "E:\\Test\\MyTest.exe";
DWORD dwDummy;
DWORD dwFVISize = GetFileVersionInfoSize( lpszFilePath , &dwDummy );
LPBYTE lpVersionInfo = new BYTE[dwFVISize];
GetFileVersionInfo( lpszFilePath , 0 , dwFVISize , lpVersionInfo );
UINT uLen;
VS_FIXEDFILEINFO *lpFfi;
VerQueryValue( lpVersionInfo , _T("\\") , (LPVOID *)&lpFfi , &uLen );
DWORD dwFileVersionMS = lpFfi->dwFileVersionMS;
DWORD dwFileVersionLS = lpFfi->dwFileVersionLS;
delete [] lpVersionInfo;
printf( "Higher: %x\n" , dwFileVersionMS );
printf( "Lower: %x\n" , dwFileVersionLS );
DWORD dwLeftMost = HIWORD(dwFileVersionMS);
DWORD dwSecondLeft = LOWORD(dwFileVersionMS);
DWORD dwSecondRight = HIWORD(dwFileVersionLS);
DWORD dwRightMost = LOWORD(dwFileVersionLS);
printf( "Version: %d.%d.%d.%d\n" , dwLeftMost, dwSecondLeft,
dwSecondRight, dwRightMost );
}
