I hope somebody can help me with this.

I am trying to use OLE to load a 'Scripting.FileSystemObject' object to get at a file's version. All is well when I run this as a pure script, but when bundled inside a pp built exe, I get an error.

I have seen that some other people have asked questions along these lines, but I was unable to find any resolutions out there?

CODE:

use Win32::OLE ;

sub getVersion($){

    return undef unless defined $_[0] ;

    my $vbsObject = Win32::OLE->new('Scripting.FileSystemObject') ;
    my $vbsFile = $vbsObject->getFile("$_[0]") ;

    return $vbsObject->GetFileVersion($vbsFile->{'Path'}) eq '' ? unde
+f : $vbsObject->GetFileVersion($vbsFile->{'Path'}) ;
}
