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.

Alternatively, you can check the version information for a .exe file with the exiftool utility, which is a command-line tool for reading, writing, and editing metainformation in a wide variety of files. It can be installed with the command sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl -y. Once it is installed, you can see details on the package with

dpkg -s 
libimage-exiftool-perl

I was able to check the version of StreamFab with that utility using the command

exiftool -FileVersion -ProductVersion 
~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/StreamFab/drive_c/Program\ Files/StreamFab/StreamFab/StreamFab64.exe

. The command provided the version information in more easily understandable output.
