There are a number of built-in support functions which you can use to perform compile-time actions and/or change your script. For example the following uses ISPP function GetVersionNumbersString to read version info from an EXE and uses the return value of the function to set the AppVerName [Setup] section directive using ISPP directive emit:
#define MyAppVer GetVersionNumbersString(AddBackslash(SourcePath) + "MyProg.exe")
[Setup]
AppVerName=MyProg version {#MyAppVer}
Function prototypes show the function result type, name, and arguments.
Return and argument types int, str, any, and void respectively specify the integer type, the string type, any type, and the null type. The integer type is a signed 64-bit integer. When the null type is specified as a function result type then the function does not return a value.
A question mark (?) after an argument type means that the argument is optional.
