Is there a way to read the GUID from the actual binary file? I haven't found anything in the API to actually read a binary file for the GUID. Is there even such a thing? For example, regsvr32 will register a DLL and place the DLLs GUID in the Windows registry. How does regsvr32 find the DLL's GUID before entering it into the registry?

We want to write a utility app for managing our environment and this is one of the requirements.

Thanks,

Kyle
