## EXE Tags

This module extracts information from various types of Windows, MacOS and Unix executable and library files. The first table below lists information extracted from the header of Windows PE (Portable Executable) EXE files and DLL libraries.

## EXE PEString Tags

Resource strings found in Windows PE files. The TagID's are not shown because they are the same as the Tag Name. ExifTool will extract any existing StringFileInfo tags even if not listed in this table.
