Fileversion included in the exe

[rib@…]

Hi

I'am in charge for our software deployment and our inventory tools, and it would be a big help for me to be able to query the exe file (and the plugins) for a version number.

Could you include this in the next releases ?

example: rightclick on c:\windows\notepad.exe and you will see a version tab. This is the kind of information that I would like.

Thanks in advance.

Will be added in the next nightly let me know where to go from here. And hopefully there will be a new CheckSingleFile? to go along with this quite soon which will make this more useful.

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=1.0 "syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1
WARNING:explorer.exe: 6.0.2900.5512, explorer.exe: 1 > warning|'explorer.exe'=1;0;0;

And the negative:

CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=6.0.2900.5512 "syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1
OK:CheckFile ok|'no files found'=0;0;0;

Hi

I think, I did not explan good enough. I wanted the nsclient.exe and the plugins to have the version number. Not to be able to check for it. We don't use NSclient for inventory, but need to detect which version is installed.

Ohh, sorry, I misunderstood.

I shall see if I can do that.

There is (BTW) a check version command to check the version (of nsclient++) but I am thinking you want it "outside"...

Heya

yes.

A small vbscript sample (2 lines):

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion("C:\Program Files\NSClient\NSClient++.exe")
