Is there a way to read file properties of a exe file?
By file properties, I mean data which is visible when you right click on a exe file, click on "Properties", and then click on "Details" tab. What I would like to read is "File version" or "Product version" property.
That exe file (which I would like to read properties) is created from jar with launch4j.exe

   For Each entry As JavaObject In entries
       Dim version As JavaObject = ResourceParser.RunMethod("readVersionInfo", Array(entry.RunMethod("getData", Null)))
       Dim strings As JavaObject = version.RunMethod("getStringFileInfo", Null)
       Dim table As JavaObject = strings.RunMethod("getTable", Array(0))
