I you check the documentation for DmGetResouce, you will find that it
searches 'all open' resource databases. If you app has its version definined
with appVersionAlternateID, but there is some app (possibly a shared library
or something opend by the OS) which uses appVersionID, your code will return
the version from that database rather than from your application. Perhaps
you want DmGet1Resource instead of DmGetResource

Subject: Re: appVersionID / appVersionAlternateID
It does this on all my projects even. Can anyone sugest a way of tracking
this problem down?
