Finding the version of a Windows exe file on a Linux system

I wasn't certain of the version of an application developed for Microsoft Linux that was installed on an Ubuntu Linux system. The wrestool utility is one application that runs on Linux systems that can be used to list or extract resources in binary files developed for Microsoft Windows systems. The utility is part of the icoutils package, which can be installed with the command sudo apt install icoutils. I needed to determine the version of StreamFab which was installed with Bottles. I was able to do so with the command wrestool -x --raw --type=version ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/StreamFab/drive_c/Program\ Files/StreamFab/StreamFab/StreamFab64.exe (use a backslash before any space in the directory path or filename).

alice@Wonderland:~$ wrestool -x --raw --type=version ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/StreamFab/drive_c/Program\ Files/StreamFab/StreamFab/StreamFab64.exe

The command showed the version of StreamFab was 7.0.5.2. Once you have installed the icoutils Debian package, you can see details on the package with dpkg -s icoutils.

TNEF

If you receive a winmail.dat file as an attachment, it is likely from a sender using Microsoft Outlook. In order to view the attachment, you will need to extract the contents of the winmail.dat file. TNEF is a program that works well on Unix and Linux systems for extracting the contents of such files.
