Version Information Viewer Ver 2.23
plugin for Total Commander (version 5.50 and above only)
===================================
first, this viewer was intended to check all files for a Version Ressource and display it.
now, it can extract File Header Information, import/export functions,debug info of an executable EXE/DLL regardless of its extension.
LIB, OBj and EXP file are also dumped.
DLL and function dependencies are tested for static and delayed DLL.


Installation
-------------
4 versions are included in this zipped file 
	- wlx_fileinfo32 and wlx_fileinfo64 are statically linked to MFC, size is larger but no DLL is needed
	- wlx_fileinfo32_DL and wlx_fileinfo64_DL are dynamically linked to MFC, size is half the weight but 
	2 DLLs from MFC9.0 are needed (MFC90.dll, MSVCR90.dll)
x32 and x64 plugin can be installed in the same directory

Use the plugin auto-install interface, ie just open the zip file in TC
Try to install first the DL variant of this plugin, if TC display an error message then you are missing MFC9 DLL so install the statically linked version of this plugin

OR if you know what you are doing, you can install it manually :
Copy "fileinfo.wlx" in your plugin directory
and add these two lines to your wincmd.ini (in 5.50 and above)
....or use the Lister plugin interface (in 5.51)

[ListerPlugins]
0=C:\wincmd\plugin\fileinfo.wlx
	(Change path to your real one )

additional DLL needed by fileinfo.wlx:
--------------------------------------
IMAGEHLP.DLL

optional DLL to use Disassembly facilities: (doesn't work in x64 version)
--------------------------------------
CADT.DLL 
You must activate manually disassembly in 'fileinfo.ini'
and copy DLL in TCMD directory or in "SYSTEM32" directory or in "fileinfo.wlx" directory

Description of "fileinfo.ini"
---------------------------
[Options]
RememberAP=0            : 1 = remember the last active page (0 don't)
autosave=1              : autosaving size and position of mmedia lister (0 don't)
ActivePage=1            :
Undecorate=1            : demangle microsoft and borland C++ functions (0 don't)
Dump_res=0              : 1 = Dump Resources (0 don't)
ShowDebug=0             : 1 = Show Debug information (0 don't)
MaxDepth=2              : Depth of DLL Dependencies analysis
W95Protect=1            : with protection, all fonctions of fileinfo are not activated, (0 to disable)
ComInt=1                : pre-detect COM Interface (0 to disable but some OLE type library will be not detected)
Disassemble=0           : disable by default.(1 to enable, need cadt.dll to be copied in "system32" directory)
UserFont=1              : Load User font (enable by default, 0 don't)

Rect=EA0200001401000081040000050300008E  : size and position of mmedia lister (remove line to reinit)

Warning : 
   default value for 'Maxdepth' is 2. on slow computer, set 1 to speed up.
   value > 4 can freeze computer for a long time

Tips :
------
- in 'Dll dependency' tab
   red icon : missing DLL
   yellow icon : missing function in DLL
   see options tab for more information
   depth of analysis can now be defined ( directly in "fileinfo.ini")

- in 'Imports / Exports' tab
   name of function copied on clipboard when you click on it   

- to use plugins, see plugins.txt

- you can save unpacked PE file with CTL-S

- in 'DLL dependency' & 'Imports/Exports' tabs, 
	the 'F3' key can open a new fileinfo window of the highlight DLL
