I think you're correct BUT, there is a simple way to get the information
from a command prompt using Windows Script Host.
Create a new text file called GetFileVer.vbs and paste the following into
the file:
'===================================================
FileName=wscript.arguments(0)
Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
f=fso.GetFileVersion(FileName)
If Len(f) Then
wscript.echo FileName & ", Version= " & f
Else
wscript.echo "No version information available"
End If
'===================================================
Save the changes and close the file. Now, you can drag a file to this script
or you can issue a command similar to the following at the prompt:
Cscript <drive>:\<path>\GetFileVer.vbs "c:\winnt\system32\ddrawex.dll"
Using the above example, the result might look like:
c:\winnt\system32\ddrawex.dll, Version= 5.0.2134.1
In order to smooth operation a little, I suggest that you also set Cscript
to be the default Windows Script Host processor (this way all output goes
naturally to the command prompt):
CScript //H:cscript //NoLogo //S
Execution will then be as easy as:
<drive>:\<path>\GetFileVer.vbs "c:\winnt\system32\ddrawex.dll"
Hope that's of some assistance!
