Is there a piece of software which will batch extract file version and file
size from all
..exe .dll and .ocx files in Windows, to save me having to do so manually.
(right click ... properties)

Thanks

I like SigCheck from Sysinternals:

If you only want path, description, and version you could also give
FileInfo by Steven Wettberg a try:

http://wettberg.home.texas.net/freeware.htm

Be aware that both programs *don't* display file size. You could
use Karen's Version browser instead:

Unfortunately, Karen's programs need VB Runtime and depend on *.ocx
components...

HTH.

Thanks for the advice.

I also found vfi.exe from the Windows Resource Kit, it's pretty good and can
export the file info to a text or csv file.

Seems you don't need file descriptions. So you can use the FileVer
command line tool from the resource kits, too.

You need to consider that the resource kits are some kind of bundle-ware
to the OS. (Not real freeware.) You are allowed to use the utilities for
your paid-for OS version, only.

WinAudit will give you that and much more. Configureable as to what,
output can be saved in a variety of formats.
