ExeInfo

Geared toward curious users who like to take apart software tools and learn what makes them tick, ExeInfo is a simple utility that you can consult to find out general information and header details about executables, DLLs, ActiveX controls (OCX), fonts (FON) and drivers (DRV, VXD, SYS, 386). It supports all major executable versions, including MS-DOS, NE (16-bit) and PE (32-bit).

There is no setup pack involved, so you can save the app's executable file in a custom location on the hard disk or on a removable storage unit, and directly launch it on any computer to analyze files. It doesn't need any DLLs to run, and it doesn't create new entries in the registry or new files on the disk.

The interface is represented by a common window with a classical structure, where you can open a file using the file browser or by dropping an item in the frame.

The general properties focus on the full path, file size and executable format, along with the date of creation and last modification. When it comes to the MS-DOS, PE and NE headers, ExeInfo reveals numerous details, such as bytes in the last page, relocation entries, code size, linker version, checksum and file alignment, in addition to section headers, compiler, OS architecture type supported, company name, or legal copyright.

You can select any part of the text to copy it to the Clipboard, or click a button to effortlessly copy everything.

It worked smoothly throughout our evaluation, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. As expected, it didn't put a strain on the computer's performance, using low CPU and RAM.

Although it hasn't been updated for a very long time, ExeInfo still runs on newer Windows editions. It facilitates a fast and easy method for examining EXE, DLL and OCX files, as well as fonts and drivers.
