I'm developing a Desktop Application with NWJS and I need to get the file properties of an .exe File.
I've tried using the npm properties module https://github.com/gagle/node-properties, but I get an empty Object.
properties.parse('./unzipped/File.exe', { path: true }, function (err, obj) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
console.log(obj);
});
I need to get the "File version" Property:
I've also tried using fs.stats and no luck. Any ideas?
Unless you want to write some native C module, there is hacky way to get this done easily: using windows wmic
command. This is the command to get version (found by googling):
wmic datafile where name='c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe' get Version
so you can just run this command in node to get the job done:
var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('wmic datafile where name="c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\notepad.exe" get Version', function(err,stdout, stderr){
if(!err){
console.log(stdout)// parse this string for version
}
});
