is it possible to determine what language an exe was created in? for
example, i am interested in know what language onenote.exe and infopath.exe
are written in.
 
If your question relates to managed code assemblies, the answer is no.
onenote.exe and infopath.exe are native code applications linked with linker version 7.1, so I'm pretty sure they are written in C++
using VS2003.

Metadata do not keep this kind of information. At least per standard.
I don't think there is a reliable way for this.

Anyway, what's the point? What is the difference if one exe was created in
C# and another in VB?
