Description
When looking at the System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo
output for the TeamViewer Quicksupport executable, I get all empty strings for fields like ProductName
and LegalCopyright
, while they do in fact exist, according to Windows Explorer:
Reproduction Steps
This code will get a path to TeamViewerQS_x64.exe
(see description above for download link), and print to console some of the properties from the file version info.
// Get path to downloads folder and TeamViewerQS_x64.exe
var userPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
var downloadsPath = Path.Combine(userPath, "Downloads");
var exePath = Path.Combine(downloadsPath, "TeamViewerQS_x64.exe");
// Get file version info and print to console
var fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(exePath);
Console.WriteLine($"version major = {fvi.ProductMajorPart}");
Console.WriteLine($"version minor = {fvi.ProductMinorPart}");
Console.WriteLine($"product name = \"{fvi.ProductName}\"");
Console.WriteLine($"copyright = \"{fvi.LegalCopyright}\"");
Expected behavior
The expected output of the example code above should be (according to Windows Explorer):
version major = 15
version minor = 60
product name = "TeamViewer QS"
copyright = "TeamViewer"
Actual behavior
The actual output of the example code is:
version major = 15
version minor = 60
product name = ""
copyright = ""
Interesting to note is the version integers are correct.

Configuration
I tried this on Windows 11, both .Net 8.0.400 and .Net 9.0.100. It also happens on Windows 10.
Other information
Considering the version integers are correct, perhaps this is some kind of string encoding issue? It appears that the TeamViewer QuickSupport exe is a compiled NSIS program, which may be relevant in helping to narrow this down.
