Thanks for the information, I stumbled across that page yesterday. It seems all the problems with this are solved. The executable works just like the Python version. Now I have to come up with an algorithm to parse through the output data to come up with the version numbers. Thanks for all your time. It's been a good learning experience for me. Now on with the project............................Greg
