Research direction

Open the linked source file xml/System.Diagnostics/FileVersionInfo.xml and locate the documentation for FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(), comparing it with the linked API page. Done means the documentation clearly states whether relative paths are supported and the rendered API page displays that information.

Missing information

Description

Hi there, it is not detailed whether FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo() supports relative paths.
I tested and it does not (on .net framework 4.5), I would greatly appreciate if you were to add that information to the docs.
Have a great day!
