Win32_FileSpecification class
The Win32_FileSpecification WMI class represents a source file with its various attributes, ordered by a unique, nonlocalized identifier. For uncompressed files, the File property is ignored, and the FileName property is used for both source and destination file name. You must set the Uncompressed bit of the Attributes property for any file that is not compressed in a cabinet.
Note
For more information about support or requirements for installation on a specific operating system, see Operating System Availability of WMI Components.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Properties
The Win32_FileSpecification class has these properties.
-
Attributes
-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
Integer that contains bit flags representing file attributes.
Value Meaning - 1 (0x1)
Read Only. - 2 (0x2)
Hidden. - 4 (0x4)
System. - 256 (0x100)
Split - the file is split between two or more compression cabinets. - 512 (0x200)
Vital - the file is vital for the proper operation of the component to which it belongs. - 4096 (0x1000)
Permanent - the file is not removed on uninstall. - 8192 (0x2000)
Uncompressed - the file is uncompressed on the source media. - 16384 (0x4000)
Patch (reserved for future use). - 32768 (0x8000)
PatchSourceIgnore - the file can be ignored during a patch upgrade if it is run-from-source. -
-
Caption
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Short textual description of the object.
-
-
CheckID
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Identifier used in conjunction with other keys to uniquely identify the check.
-
-
CheckMode
-
-
Data type: boolean
-
Access type: Read-only
Condition is expected to exist in the environment. When True, the condition is expected to exist (for example, a file is expected to be on a system), so the Invoke method is expected to return True.
-
-
CheckSum
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
Checksum calculated as the 16-bit sum of the first 32 bytes of the file.
-
-
CRC1
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
CRC value calculated using the middle 512 kilobytes.
-
-
CRC2
-
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read-only
CRC value for the middle 512 kilobytes with a offset modulo 3 to the start of the file of zero.
-
-
CreateTimeStamp
-
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
Date the file was created.
-
-
Description
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Description of the object.
-
-
FileID
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Unique key that identifies a file within the scope of a product.
-
-
FileSize
-
-
Data type: uint64
-
Access type: Read-only
Size of the file.
For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.
-
-
Language
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Decimal language identifiers that are comma-separated if there is more than one.
-
-
MD5CheckSum
-
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Algorithm for computing a 128-bit checksum for any file or object. The probability of two different files producing the same MD5 checksum is small (about 1 in 2^64), and the MD5 checksum of a file can be used to construct a reliable content identifier that is likely to uniquely identify the file. The reverse is also true. If two files have the same MD5 checksum, it is likely that the files are identical. For purposes of MOF specification of the MD5 property, the MD5 algorithm always generates a 32 character string. For example, the string "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" generates the string "c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b".
-
-

-
Access type: Read-only
