Vista Tutorial - Retrieve file version information

Hi,

Here's my scenario:

I need to retrieve file version information from three different servers.
The file name is the same. For example \\server1\share\setup.exe;
\\server2\share\setup.exe; \\server3\share\setup.exe.

Currently I right click each file, select properties, and then version tab.
I would like a script I can just double click and have the versions retrieved
for me.

Thanks

Hi tke402,



Try:

$files = "\\server1\share\setup.exe","\\server2\share\setup.exe","\\server3\share\setup.exe"

dir $files | format-list VersionInfo

You can't double click a powershell script to run it. if you want to double
click an icon then need to start powershell and pass the name of the script.
look at powershell /? for details

Right! I didn't read the last line carefully.

Definitely not recommended (for security and other reasons) but still doable.
