We are currently gathering data from function group XUSR include u201CZXUSRU01u201D, regarding frontend information. We are using function module 'GUI_GET_FILE_INFO', but have also tried method 'FILE_GET_VERSION' in class 'CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES', to get file version information from wdbwpub.exe to determine the BEx 3.5 installed version.. This is proving to be not too reliable. The version of file sapbex.xla seems to be consistent with what we expect, however I do not know how to get file version information from a non-executable. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how we can gather the BEx 3.5 version information from the front-end?
Best Regards

Hi,
I've never tried this but have you tried to use Windows registry? You can use method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>REGISTRY_GET_VALUE to read registry. So if you are able to find a node for your case then it should work.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the feedback! I too had the same notion, but am unable to locate BEx version information in the registry.

hi all,
I also have the problem to find out the version of a specific file in the file directory.
In my case: C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer\BI\BExAnalyzer.exe
Any clues?
Best regards
