ExecutableInfoReader

Azure DevOps extension that reads file, program, and optionally assembly info from executables (and dlls). Inspired by Paul Appeldoorn's AssemblyVersionLoader Extension, however this focuses first on reading from executables instead of dlls.

Usage

Set the Variable Root Prefix to the value that you want the generated variables to be prefixed by. For instance, if you set the Variable Root Prefix to "Foo" then the variables would be:

Important Notes

• File Version can occassionally have extra text outside of just the version information (for instance, take a look at iexplore.exe on Windows 10). Any extra information is stripped off by this utility.
• Many executables do not have Assembly Version information because they do not contain readable manifests. When that occurs and the option to output Assembly Version information is enabled, a warning will be emitted and empty strings will be written to the AssemblyVersionInfo variables.
