Returns the version of LabVIEW that last saved the VI. The version of LabVIEW that last saved the VI might be different from the file format version of the VI. For example, if you use LabVIEW 9.0.1 to save a VI, the VI has a file format version of 9.0.
To obtain the file format version of the VI, use the Get VI:Version method.
LabVIEW does not open the VI when retrieving the version information. If you specify a path to a file that is not a VI, LabVIEW returns error 6559.
If the VI has "Separate compiled code from source file" set, then this method returns the current LabVIEW editor version.
