Extract Version Info action&nbsp;fails&nbsp;when version info not in file even with 'Ignore version information fields that aren't found' set.

Error in build log is:

Version Information block not in file

Getting file version information failed.

.....Becuase the ignore version fields that aren't found is checked I exepect the return to be a blank string (the help indicates this).

Hi Jeff   
  
 This option is only designed to ignore missing version attributes, not the version info block itself.   
  
 I have added an additional option to ignore missing version info block. In this case all variables defined to store a version information field will be set to an empty string.   
  
 I will post the build with this change here shortly.   
  
 Regards,   
 Steve

Hi Jeff   
  
 Here is the build with the additional option:   
 [https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700\_1152.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/aex6/FB700_1152.exe)   
  
 Could you please confirm that this solves the problem for you?

That seems to work for me. My script now fails on the Get File/Folder date but that’s a different issue.   
  
 Is/was there some sort of conversion guide. The script worked great in FB3 and is now broken.

Hi Jeff   
  
 Could you either create a new post or send an email to support at finalbuilder dot com with the details (including the error included in the build log) of the Get File/Folder date error and I will have a look at it for you.   
  
 Regards,
