How do I obtain the 'product version' of an executable using vbscript?

you can try this
edit this line to the path and file name you need
notice every backslash need to be double
example: c:\\windows\\system32\\ping.exe

 ("Select * from CIM_Datafile Where name = 'C:\\temp\\setup.exe'")

one more thing file version and product version are diffrent attributes but in most cases are the same

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from CIM_Datafile Where name = 'C:\\temp\\setup.exe'")
For Each objFile in colFiles
    Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objFile.Version
Next

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks for the assistance but I was trying to find the "product version" not the "file version".  The executable I am querying has different values for these two properties.  The "product version" is visable in Windows XP by right-clicking on the EXE file, go to the Version tab and the "product version" is listed as one of the item names.
