That should be all. I found a procedure for this which should be called, after calling some different statements : VerQueryValue(Buff, PChar('040904E4'), Pointer(InfoPtr), RsltLen) The hardcoded '040904E4' seem to be the LocalId (0409) and the charID (04E4). This is strange because if the a LocalId or a CharId should be used to the versionInfo the procedure VerQueryValue could be able to retrieve the information it self. It also suggest that it is possible to retrieve the version info with a differnent LocalId and CharID then the current(thread) localId and charID. But this is not the case. The setting must be identical then the current setting. When I force to set first a LocalId with first using SetThreadLocale(localId); and later retrieving it before calling VerQueryValue it works fine. But when I do not force a SetThreadLocale, which I do not want to do, for just reading the project Version Info, then VerQueryValue sometime does work and sometime is does not. Which LocalId does VerQueryValue use if Local thread is not jet set with SetThreadLocale. Or even much better. Does the a statement exist where I can ignore all these LocalId setting and just retrieve my project Version Info.

But in VerQueryValueW still a hardcoded LocalID and CharId is needed. And still I do only get a good result if first I force the thread LocalID by calling the statement SetThreadLocale(localId) Thanks for your answer.

That's how those string resource editors work.
