Get windows file informations like the comment of a msi file

Question

How can I get file informations from an .msi file like the comment?

I don't seem to get them via fs module fs.stats.

To read windows files metadata you can use the get-file-properties package that is a wrapper around the wmic command.

From the doc:

import { getFileProperties, WmicDataObject } from 'get-file-properties'

async function demo() {
  // Ensure you are using double backslashes in your file path
  const filepath: string = 'C:\\path\\to-my\\file.txt'
  let metadata: WmicDataObject

  metadata = await getFileProperties(filepath)
  console.log(metadata.FileSize)
}
