File version info
Teena
in
the wsh 5.6 documentation, which is a good start. I think I was too
specific in the previous request below. I would like to access and to
pull
all of the information on the General and Version tabs in a given file's
properties (i.e. size, path, version, etc.). How can this be done? TIA
for
any helpful input!

Hi
From WSH\FSO, this is what you get:
GetFileVersion method for file version
and the file object that gives you:
Attributes Property | DateCreated Property | DateLastAccessed Property |
DateLastModified Property | Drive Property | Name Property | ParentFolder
Property | Path Property | ShortName Property | ShortPath Property | Size
Property | Type Property
That covers the version on the On the Version tab and everything on the General
tab I guess.
For everyting else, like e.g. Description, it's getting messy, see A) and B)

You can get file name, version, etc. with FSO. Beyond that you have to use API
or a direct binary read of the file. For a direct binary read you need to deal
with the structure of a PE file, which is very involved, but probably more
doable than accessing the necessary APIs. If that's really what you want I have
a component that provides binary file functions. The download includes a sample
script to read an export table from a DLL. (You'll need to get the documentation
for PE file structure, too.)

Some of the links supplied by Michael Harris in this thread are changed, and
Google has removed a lot of underscores in the Michael Harris script. Here is a
corrected version with updated links and added underscores. Note that it will
only work on files placed on a NTFS partition, it will not work for files placed
on a FAT32 partition.
