    Hi Dmitry,

    FileVersionInfo provides that information (except for LegalTrademark1/2 - I only see a single property there):

    Dim strFile As String = _
  System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "Notepad.exe")
Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strFile)
Dim fvi As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo = _
  System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(strFile)
MessageBox.Show( _
  "File properties for " & fi.Name & ":" & Environment.NewLine & _
   "FileDescription: " & fvi.FileDescription & Environment.NewLine & _
   "CompanyName: " & fvi.CompanyName & Environment.NewLine & _
   "FileVersion: " & fvi.FileVersion & Environment.NewLine & _
   "Comments: " & fvi.Comments & Environment.NewLine & _
   "InternalName: " & fvi.InternalName & Environment.NewLine & _
   "LegalCopyright: " & fvi.LegalCopyright & Environment.NewLine & _
   "LegalTrademarks: " & fvi.LegalTrademarks & Environment.NewLine & _
   "OriginalFilename: " & fvi.OriginalFilename & Environment.NewLine & _
   "ProductName: " & fvi.ProductName & Environment.NewLine & _
   "ProductVersion: " & fvi.ProductVersion & Environment.NewLine & _
   "PrivateBuild: " & fvi.PrivateBuild & Environment.NewLine & _
   "SpecialBuild: " & fvi.SpecialBuild & Environment.NewLine & _
   "LegalTrademarks: " & fvi.LegalTrademarks)

    Cheers,
    Olaf
