When I try to use the API function GetFileVersionInfoSize() to retrieve the
size of the version resource in my PocketPC app the size returned is always
zero. When I get the error value with GetLastError() the error value is:

Error 1814: The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file.

I am passing the name of my executable file to GetFileVersionInfoSize() as
follows:

The path to the executable is: My Device\debug\myappce.exe

size = GetFileVersionInfoSize(_T("myappce.exe",&dummy);

I have also tried:

size = GetFileVersionInfoSize(_T("\\\\debug\\myappce.exe",&dummy);

Is there something I am doing wrong ... are GetFileVersionInfoSize and the
rest of the version API functions supported on PocketPC (winCE 4.2) ?

Hi,

As far as I can recall, the documentation is in error, because
the version stuff requires version.dll--which is not part of the
Pocket PC platform.

Hope this helps...

Is it possible that the error specified is correct? There is no 'current
working directory' in CE, so your first example should fail based upon the
path to the executable you described. And I believe the two initial
backslashes in your second path are incorrect as well. Rather, I believe it
should have only one.
