FileSystemObject..GetFileVersion()

Has anyone successfully used the FileSystemObject.GetFileVersion
function to get the version of a file on a remote machine? and if so
how? I'm not able to get it to work. It works from a VBScript
application, but not from C#...

Why would you use the FileSystemObject over .NET's FileVersionInfo
class for this in C#?

Don't think I've ever tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

I just got it to work, but I had to use the WindowsIdentity class with
the LogonUser api function to impersonate a user with access to the
machine.
