Hi!

aGetFileVersion(aVers, "myfile.exe")
? aVers(3)

>I've written a small routine to scan a specified directory for some EXE files matching a particular file mask. These EXE files (which originate from the same place) *all* have a description attached, which I can see by right-clicking the file name in the folder under My Computer in Win2K Pro and selecting Properties.
>
>QUESTION: How can I access the text of this description in this routine through some WinAPI function (or WSH, or whatever) to parse/store/use it elsewhere?
