All,

Is there any way to read the checksum from an executable (.exe) file header? All I could find that might help was GETFILEINFOQQ which does not access the checksum.

TIA,

Bill

I can't think of a way offhand, other than reading the EXE file and understanding the PE format. What are you trying to accomplish with this? Perhaps there's another way. There's some information you can retrieve with VerQueryValue, but not the checksum.
