How is one to know that cmd.exe is a stand alone program & not the actual installer for the "cmd & conquer" game?
How is one to know that officesetup.exe is the installer that installs office & not a stand alone program that displays a picture of my office setup?
You could use a unix-like 'file' command, & something like that could be used to do something like:
E:\Windows\System32>file cmd.exe
cmd.exe; PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit
or
C:\out>file seamonkey.exe
seamonkey.exe; PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
The former is a stand-alone .exe.
The latter is the seamonkey program installer - though you would not know it based upon its' name.
Or, Sigcheck.
With Everything 1.5 alpha, you may be able to... not sure what particularly, but parse or obtain certain information or Properties of said files & then output that data in some formatted fashion.
(No need for duplicate posts. Zapping the other.)
