How to Get Version from File Property of DLL OCX EXE

[dgschnei]

Hello all,

I am trying to write a scrip that will output the following information:

List of files (DLL EXE OCXs) and their version.

How can I read the VERSIONs DLLs, EXEs, OCXs located in a folder?

"Version" being the value obtained when using right click and file property in the Version tab of the property dialog box.

In other words how do I programmatically determine the versions?

Here is an example of the ouput I would like to get:

FILEA.dll version 2.0.0.3
FILEB.ocx version 5.1.3079.0
FILEC.exe version 6.3.81.69
FILED.dll version 1.3.0.44

and so on ...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Take a look at the GetFileVersion method of the FileSystemObject.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thank you very much for your help!

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder("D:\DomiFolder")

Set F_Files = Folder.Files

For Each File In F_Files

    MsgBox File.Path & chr(32) & FSO.GetFileVersion (File.Path) 

Next

Great forum, great help!
