Filever.exe: File Version |
|
| Open Command Prompt | |
This command-line tool examines the version resource structure of a file, or a directory of files, on either a local or remote computer and displays information on the versions of executable files such as .exe files and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).
FileVer is useful in determining the exact binary build of an installed component. Executable files typically have their file date and time modified to make them easy to identify as part of a major release; but hotfixes and Service Packs do not always follow this convention.
By identifying the actual version information, it is possible to track where a fix came from. This may be useful for customers who are requested by support personnel to identify hotfixes installed on their computers.
