Description

Version Information Spy displays the version information contained in an executable file or DLL. The program makes version information details available in several ways:

  • From a Windows application that displays detailed version information in its main window. The program can generate and display reports about the version information in either plain text or HTML format. It can also decompile the version information into .rc source code. Version information that departs from the Microsoft recommended standard can be highlighted and details of how to revise the source code to meet the standard can be displayed.
  • There is a command line version of the application that writes text reports or decompiled source code to standard output. The reports can be redirected to output files.
  • Two Explorer extensions are also provided. A menu item is added to the Windows Explorer context menu for registered file types. Clicking this menu item displays the selected file's version information in the Windows application. Additionally, a new tab is added to the property sheet associated with registered files if they contain version information. The new tab is named Version Extra and it provides more comprehensive details of a file's version information than is displayed on the existing Version tab. The Explorer extensions can be configured from the Windows application.

Version information can be extracted from any Windows NE or PE format executable files (i.e. 16 and 32 bit exes, dlls etc). Version Information Spy 7 can also extract version information from 32 bit binary resource files that contain a version information resource. Multi-lingual version information resources are supported. The program can read version information from most of the many programs that don't follow the Windows version information specification.

New in release 7:

  • Version Extra tab added to Explorer's property sheet for registered files.
  • Improved HTML reports.
  • Suggest on how to correct to inconsistencies in version information.
  • XP theme support
  • Several usability improvements.
  • Standard Windows installer, created using Inno Setup.
