Visual Basic, Getting driver file version information via vbscript or VB

Getting driver file version information via vbscript or VB

Don Whitlo #1 / 3	Getting driver file version information via vbscript or VB Sorry for the x-post, but figured VB and VBScript groups made the most sense for this question. Is there anyway to get the version information for a driver file such as atapi.sys located in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Right now, you can select the file, right click, and get a version tab on the file information window. From there, you can select Product Version to see the manufacturers version number. I'd really like to get at this info programmatically, even better if I could do it via vbscript, but would do in VB if I really have to. Is there any object that exposes that property? FileSystemObject.File doesn't seem to have any such property. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Don Whitlow
