How To Query InternalName String

NTDEV
1

Hi!

Is there a tool that can query a driver’s InternalName resource string?
AFAIK, that string is not displayed through Explorer’s property page for the
driver.

Thanks!

You mean the Native Device Name?

You can get it from the Object Manager’s directory, given the symbolic link name. One place you can get this is from our GUI Object Viewer utility: http:

You can also get this from our Device Tree application, of course… along with a ton of other stuff. For Device Tree, see http:

“filever /v” - this requires Windows Support Tools to be installed.

You can also try “wmic datafile” with various parameters (google for it).

Python and PowerShell can also help a lot.

The standard version resource APIs work just fine with drivers.
GetFileVersionInfo is used to fetch version stuff. I have a Python tool
to show the version numbers from arbitrary files. I use it a lot.
