I was wondering whats the most common way to aquire the "Version Byte" and "Exe Version" variables?  I assume they are stored in the data section of one of the hash files, however a prelimiary search for the Exe Version turned up nothing.  I suppose I can resort to debugging the actual client in action and seeing how it creates them however I was hoping someone here would know.

Have a look at this topic, https://davnit.net/bnet/vL/index.php?topic=14049.0

Thanks, yea after posting this I continued to research and found that the version is stored in the exe's resource data which can be accessed by a few simple windows API calls.  I am, however, seeking a cross platform method so I have begun to write a java class to extract the resource data from an EXE file.

Yeah well, iago beat you to it.
