Assembly version from command line?

Question

Is there a Microsoft tool to get the assembly version of a DLL file from a command line?

(I know that I can code my own tool.)

Answer 1

Wow this is bad considering things like old exploitable gdiplus.dll's floating around.

My solution is simple. batch file programming.

This puts an nfo file in the same dir with the version

You can GET filever.exe, which can be downloaded as part of the Windows XP SP2 Support Tools package - only 4.7MB of download.

adobe_air_version.bat

c:\z\filever.exe /A /D /B "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR.dll" >000_adobe_air.dll_VERSION.nfo

exit

Variation.

Get all the versions in a directory to a text file.

c:\z\filever.exe /A /D /B "c:\somedirectory\ *.dll *.exe >000_file_versions.nfo

exit

There's also Sigcheck by systernals.
