you didn't include windows, and you didn't read the docs, handles aren't dword
values.

tried this.
void main()
{
DWORD Egfv;
DWORD gfvHandle;
DWORD gfvLen = GetFileVersionInfoSize("d:\\d\\setup.exe", &gfvHandle);
LPVOID lpData = new char[gfvLen];
Egfv=GetFileVersionInfo("d:\\d\\setup.exe", gfvHandle, gfvLen, lpData);
cout << lpData;
}
however, im running some compilation errors.

Various APIs are required. Tyler already pointed out the majority of
the information. Here's version information:
http://msdn. microsoft. com/en-us/ library/ms647003 .aspx
Version information is actually stored inside a special resource type in
the DLL/EXE resource table, which requires walking the NE/PE file
formats. GetFileVersionInfo( ) gets at that information by doing all the
hard work for you. It does get a bit hairy when you have to start
fiddling with LCIDs (Locale IDs) to get at the info.
