Since all installation programs do the same thing, why reinvent
the wheel? Just buy one, it should be cheaper than developing
your own. There are also some share/freeware apps around (try CICA).

In respect to your question, I have some code that fills a dialog
box ('About...') according to the version information resource:
}

procedure THelpAbout.SetUpWindow;
var
  lVerInfoSize: LongInt;
  lVerHandle: LongInt;
  szModuleName: array [0..fsPathName] of Char;
  pVerData: PChar;
  Buffer: Pointer;
  lenBuffer: Word;
begin
  TDialog.SetupWindow;
  GetModuleFileName(hInstance, szModuleName, SizeOf(szModuleName));
  lVerInfoSize := GetFileVersionInfoSize(szModuleName, lVerHandle);
  if lVerInfoSize = 0 then Exit;
  GetMem(pVerData, lVerInfoSize);
  if not GetFileVersionInfo(szModuleName, lVerHandle, lVerInfoSize, pVerData)
    then Exit;
  if VerQueryValue(pVerData, '\StringFileInfo\CATE\ProductName',
                   Buffer, LenBuffer)
     and (LenBuffer <> 0)
    then SetDlgItemText(hWindow, stat_AppName, Buffer);
  if VerQueryValue(pVerData, '\StringFileInfo\CATE\ProductVersion',
                   Buffer, LenBuffer)
     and (LenBuffer <> 0)
    then SetDlgItemText(hWindow, stat_AppVersion, Buffer);
  if VerQueryValue(pVerData, '\StringFileInfo\CATE\CompanyName',
                   Buffer, LenBuffer)
     and (LenBuffer <> 0)
    then SetDlgItemText(hWindow, stat_AppCompany, Buffer);
  if VerQueryValue(pVerData, '\StringFileInfo\CATE\LegalCopyright',
                   Buffer, LenBuffer)
     and (LenBuffer <> 0)
    then SetDlgItemText(hWindow, stat_AppCopyright, Buffer);
  FreeMem(pVerData, lVerInfoSize);
end;
