jarr3 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 Hi,  I am thinking on implementing some kind of information toolset, to be able to extract version information from all the exe's and dll's we have today. (dll hell 😀)  Currently I am just doing a little shell scripting (or bat filing)  This little script runs through all *.exe and *.dll when you put it in folder and double click.  @echo off echo Evaluating directory %CD% > versions.txt powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-ChildItem -Recurse "*.dll", "*.exe" | Foreach-Object {[PSCustomObject]@{Filename=$_| Resolve-Path -Relative ;ProductVersion=$_.VersionInfo.ProductVersion;FileVersion=$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}}" >> versions.txt echo check file versions.txt pause  When run in a folder with serum and other files, I see serum does not have the information needed.  Quote Evaluating directory C:\Projects\vpinball Filename                                         ProductVersion  FileVersion --------                                         --------------  ----------- .\B2SBackglassServer.dll                                 2.0.3-a23c952  2.0.3    .\B2SServerPluginInterface.dll                              1.0.0.0-a23c952 1.0.0.0   .\Bass.dll                                                2.4.17    .\DmdDevice.dll                                     2.1.2      2.1.2.0   .\DmdDevice64.dll                                    1.10.3-SNAPSHOT 1.10.3.0   .\FreeImage.dll                                     3, 17, 0, 0   3, 17, 0, 0 .\libusbK.dll                                      3.0.7.0     3.0.7.0   .\libusbK64.dll                                     3.0.7.0     3.0.7.0   .\openvr_api.dll                                     1.14.15     1.14.15   .\pin2color.dll                                     1.1.0.0     1.1.0.0   .\pin2color64.dll                                    1.1.0.0     1.1.0.0   .\SciLexerVP.dll                                     4.4.4      4.4.4    .\SDL2.dll                                        2, 26, 5, 0   2, 26, 5, 0 .\SDL2_ttf.dll                                      2, 20, 2, 0   2, 20, 2, 0 .\serum.dll                                                     .\serum64.dll                                                     Or if you look on a single file:   Would it be possible to add it somehow? I guess it will become easier going forward to see that we have all compatible files in use...  /Jarr3   Â

jarr3 Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 Cool, then still it is possible to use my little bat file to extract which versions of the dlls/exe's are used... Â Maybe it can help with finding problems with PUP & DMD's?
Content Provider zedrummer Posted May 31, 2023 Content Provider Posted May 31, 2023 In fact, it is embedded, but not always up-to-date as there is not a dmdext release everytime there is a serum dll update. Getting the latest version from here https://github.com/zesinger/libserum/releases and copy/unblock the DLLs (serum.dll and serum64.dll) may be interesting as the dll in VPinMame takes precedence on the embedded ones. You can get the version of serum[64].dll calling the ` const char* Serum_GetVersion()` function returning the version as a char* string like "1.5.1"
