Setup files

I have a myriad of setup files (e.g. setup.exe; setup.dll; etc.). How
can I differentiate them?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

P.S. I have WinXP Pro, and SP2.

The folders that the files are in ought to give some clue.

Right click a file | Properties | Version tab

This info is part of the file and not all files have real good info.
Especially if it is spyware or a virus. Or whoever put it together was lazy
or secretive.

Click a category on the left to display the information on the right.

Other version information
Item Name:
Company
File Version
Internal Name
Language
Original File Name
Product Name
Product Version

Sometimes, if someone was really industrious, there is info under the
Summary tab also.
