Problem:

• Product Name: VisiBroker/Borland AppServer
• Product Version: All
• Product Component: vbver tool
• Platform/OS Version: Windows

Limitation of "vbver.exe" utility in Windows

Resolution:

"vbver.exe" utility is used to get the information of each library and binary files of VisiBroker and AppServer.

This utility has an inherent limitation on Windows platforms -- it cannot process multiple files passed with a wildcard (? or *) at the command prompt. Example, running "vbver *" will raise the error:

vbver: * does not exist


A workaround will be creating a wrapping batch file as following:

@echo OFF

FOR /F %%G IN ('dir %1 /d /b') DO VBVER %1\\%%G

It will loop for each files that corresponds the parameter "%1" and pass the individual file to "vbver.exe".
