Reporting on file version

[Guest Close Guest]

I need to find a way to report the file version for a file found on several PC's on our network.

I can get what I need by right-clicking the .exe file and choosing properties. The file versionm, and other version information is then listed under the Version tab.

Can Hyena report on these same details?
I created a File/Directory export, but it does not list "File version" as an export option.

This information is difficult and slow to obtain remotely, so we can't support it at this time.

Amazingly, Microsoft has released "Log Parser" v2.2 which can report on a number of file system items (see below.)

By using the 'FS Input Format' you can get the version of any .exe, .dll, .ocx etc. file.

These are the fields available:
Path
Name
Size
Attributes
CreationTime
LastAccessTime
LastWriteTime
FileVersion
ProductVersion
InternalName
ProductName
CompanyName
LegalCopyright
LegalTrademarks
PrivateBuild
SpecialBuild
Comments
FileDescription
OriginalFilename

You can save output to various formats including csv, SQL, text, etc.
