Get file version in PowerShell

Since PowerShell can call .NET classes, you could do the following:

[System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo("somefilepath").FileVersion

Or as noted here on a list of files:

get-childitem * -include *.dll,*.exe | foreach-object { "{0}`t{1}" -f $_.Name, [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($_).FileVersion }

Or even nicer as a script: https://jtruher3.wordpress.com/2006/05/14/powershell-and-file-version-information/
