Tool to collect version info from applications?

D

David Winter

Is there a tool to collect version information for all (Microsoft and
3rd party) software installed on my system? I.e., something I can
throw at C:\Programs\ drive that will produce a list of all
applications and the version number as shown in the .exe properties
under "file version"?

Output should look like this:

Programs\Textpad\TextPad.exe: 4.7
Programs\totalcmd\Totalcmd.exe: 6.03
etc.

TIA.

Also EVEREST from www.lavalys.com

For just getting the software list, Bel Arc does a very fine
job. EVEREST shows more details about the whole computer
system. Both are free so get both and use them as
appropriate.

I find that Belarc gives more info. on product versions. As you say,
Everest is better for everything else.

My feeling too. Bel Arc has a nice list of installed
software and the * links it to the programs folder.
