Find out an exe version?

[Rawns]

I'm looking for a way to check an exe for the version number if possible. I take it something like this can't be done using batch?

[RabbieBurns]

do you want two ways of doing it?

Just one.

 

I posted twice in error!

You can do it in vbscript:

 

Option Explicit 

Dim objFSO

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Wscript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion("c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe")
