Hi,

To get file version, you can use FileVersionInfo class under
System.Diagnostics namespace.

For example, for Windows Media Player, GetVersionInfo can return
version using specified path, wmplayer.exe

Dim version As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo
version = _
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo _
("C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe")
' Display it in msgbox
MsgBox(version.FileVersion)

Hope this helps,
