I've noticed fciv is no longer available for download. Is this permanent? Assuming so, the alternative seems to be CertUtil. I would like to use CertUtil but need to know the revision/version.
In fciv the revision/version is reported by default when the results of the checksum is displayed. However, CertUtil does not even in verbose mode. I looked at all the verbs available and it is not obvious to me how to display the revision/version.
My question is how do I get the revision/version for CertUtil?
certutil by no means is a replacement for FCIV. BTW, what is the purpose of getting certutil version? You can find its version in file properties.
Thanks for your response.
I realize fciv is limited compared to CertUtil. However, CertUtil can be used to provide the function previously provided by fciv.
Example: CertUtil -hashfile myfile.txt SHA1
In regulated industries it is common to have to validate any utility used to create/verify a product. This usually includes specifying the version/revision that is validated.
You mentioned you can get the revision via file properties. That was valuable information for me. I assume you mean in the details tab of the files properties. Is there a way to get that using Command Line Interface? Either using CertUtil itself or some other utility where the CertUtil.exe file is specified?
Hi Frank
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Open Specifications Support. Your question does not appeared related to Microsoft Open Specifications Documentation, I've removed openspecs-windows tag from the post.
you can get executable version using WMIC (command prompt only):
WMIC DATAFILE WHERE name="C:\\windows\\system32\\certutil.exe"
I added get Version to the end and got what I was after in a pretty output. Thanks for the help.
C:\Windows> WMIC DATAFILE WHERE name="C:\windows\system32\certutil.exe" get Version
Version
10.0.17763.1697
