(SST) ShlWAPIFunctionInfo Version 1.0

Developer Reference
TSSTDllVerInfo.RetResourceFileDateMS Method
Retrieves the most significant 32 bits of the 64-bit, binary, time stamp value stored in the version information resources of a Windows executable.
Scope
Protected (i.e. the method can only be accessed from code in a descendant class or the unit it which it is implemented).
Syntax
Function RetResourceFileDateMS() : DWORD;  
Parameters
None  
Return Values
Returns an unsigned integer value that represents the most significant 32 bits of the binary, file creation date time stamp.
Remarks
The returned value is not available in form of a separate property.
The function merely returns the "dwFileDateMS" member/field of the ResourceFixedFileInfo property.
The dwFileDateMS member/field of the VS_FIXEDFILEINFO record/structure appears to be always zero in 32 bit, Windows executables, irrespective of the executable type (dll, stand-alone executable, driver, etc.) and the compiler/linker(s) used to create the file (Microsoft, Borland, etc.). At least, to date (December 2015), we have yet to encounter a file in which it isn't. However, if you have information and proof to the contrary, please inform us.
Requirements
Unit (Declared and implemented in) SSTNewUnit.pas
Library SSTNewUnit.dcu/SSTNewUnit.obj
Unicode Implemented as ANSI version only.
