    FileSystemObject..GetFileVersion()

    Has anyone successfully used the FileSystemObjec t.GetFileVersio n
    function to get the version of a file on a remote machine? and if so
    how? I'm not able to get it to work. It works from a VBScript
    application, but not from C#...

      Why would you use the FileSystemObjec t over .NET's FileVersionInfo
      class for this in C#?

              Will FileVersionInfo work for files on a remote machine?

                      Don't think I've ever tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

                          I just got it to work, but I had to use the WindowsIdentity class with
                          the LogonUser api function to impersonate a user with access to the
                          machine.
