Up until PcVue version 8.10 SP2, the only way of getting full information about the version was from the properties of the Sv32.exe executable. All the information required is in its properties.

What you can find out:

• if it is for a service pack Service Pack Number
• Beta or Release as the case may be
• VBA, if it is a VBA version
• the Build Number
• and even the date when it was compiled.

From these versions onwards,

• 8.10 SP2, build number 9674
• 8.11, build number 9676

All of the following items are also available from the Event Viewer, as in these examples:
