GetFileVersionInfo Problem

I'm trying to get version information for all *.exe on a computer, I've got the list of *.exe but when I try to get the version information using GetFileVersionInfo and GetFileVersionInfoSize and compile the program I get errors listed below
SoftwareConfig.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _GetFileVersionInfoA@16
SoftwareConfig.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _GetFileVersionInfoSizeA@8

I've tried including windows.h and winver.h without any help. I've tried to change the inline function setting, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Please, if anyone has information on this let me know, Thanks in advance.

Add version.lib to the list of libraries in the project settings.

Hi,
Inspite of adding version.lib in project ->Linker -> additional dependencies, the error continues to occur.
