I'm trying to read attributes of an .exe file (specifically - product name and product version) in java but have a slight problem with that. From what i read it should be doable with Java.NIO but this code (suggested in all examples and in different questions here)
UserDefinedFileAttributeView userView = Files.getFileAttributeView(file, UserDefinedFileAttributeView.class);
List<String> attribList = userView.list();
returns empty list which means it can't find any attributes (as i understand it). I also tried to use Apache Tika's ExecutableParser to read metadata of a file but it didn't have those attributes either.
Can somebody please explain how to do such thing, in details?
