VerifyFiles.exe

VerifyFiles is a command line utility to verify the integrity of files and folders using MD5 checksums and / or file version information (exe & dll files).

To start using VerifyFiles you will have to create an XML file, that VerifyFiles will use to check the integrity of a given folder and its sub folders. The XML file contains all files that are required to be inside the given folder and additionally some integrity information as an file checksum and/or version information.

VerifyFiles will utilize all CPUs found in the machine it’s running on to verify / enumerate files in a given folder (multi threading). This speeds up things enormously. (Factor 10 on an Intel Core i7 4 core CPU with Hyper Threading.)

If the verification fails, VerifyFiles will return an error code of 1. If the validation succeeds, VerifyFiles will return the error code 0.

The XML file can be created manually or by using the VerifyFiles command line switch -create. You can define optional files and folders or delete rules for out-dated files.
