Extracting GUID from DLL or OCX files

Hello

I wanted to know if it is possible to extract the GUID from DLL or OCX files in C#? I have searched the web dry and haven’t been able to find a solution.
I have to make an application that checks if files are registered on several computers on the network by using remoteRegistry and by using the files path as key, without having to load the complete TypeLib which takes a significant amount of time.
By getting the GUID from the files I need to check, I would be able to use a “master computer” and load all the GUIDS in an XML file. Thereafter I can limit the application to load only the files I need to check on all the computers on the network by using the OpenSubKey() function, instead of having to load the complete TypeLib from every computer.

Any help would be most welcome :)

Thank you
