Hi,

In winXp when I right click and go to properties I can get version info
of that .exe (if it has any version info). I am wondering if I can get
this info from command line for that .exe which I could do by right
click ->properties. Is there any command that I can use from DOS? I
tried like "x /?", "x --help" "help x", nothing is working.
The reason I am looking for this is because I have a utility that runs
on many diff PCs and I want to right a small batch file that can get me
the version of that utility.

Thank you,
hj
 
No, but you acn right a Windows Script file or VB Script file and use the
FileObject object to get all the information you want.
 
Thank you guys. I downloaded filever.exe and it worked.
