Why do you do the shl (which I assume is shift left operation)?
Short answer: That's how the examples I saw on the web worked! Long answer: As far as I can tell, if you have a file with a version aa.bb.cc.dd, the version number is actually two 32 bit words, aabb and ccdd. I set vfp to start with version 2.0.0 for the first build using the inno setup script, so all I need to do is make sure that aa is
=2, but since I actually have to compare 2.0 with aabb the 2 needs to
be shifted left 16 bits, and then combined (the bitwise OR) with the minor version of 0. A much cleaner example of this is in the Inno Setup Extensions Knowledge Base at <http://www.vincenzo.net/isxkb/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=32> or <http://tinyurl.com/g7nw7>. This page is offline ATM, but you can see the google cache at <http://tinyurl.com/zwtw6>. Look towards the end after the "Version Functions" comment.
