The XPEInfo APIs allow you to extract information from a PE file. Included in the download is a Windows demo app, and a console app that tests whether a PE file is valid, whether it is 64-bit, contains debug info, is a .Net executable, or is signed. Sample cmd files are provided.

I attended St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto, with the intention of becoming a priest. A friend in the University's Computer Science Department got me interested in programming, and I have been hooked ever since.

Recently, I have moved to Los Angeles where I am doing consulting and development work.
