.net - Is there a way to find a 'friendly' name for an executable given its path? -

-

i'm creating ui has buttons start number of .exe files in own thread.

i know path .exe files, i'm wanting display friendly application name rather file name of executable. of applications referenced big name applications microsoft word or skype; not in house exe files.

as example, path may be:

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office15\winword.exe"

but in ui want display button "word" on it.

i've noticed in registry many applications store friendlyappname in area of registry can access follows:

command.text = microsoft.win32.registry.getvalue     (     "hkey_local_machine\software\classes\applications\" +      io.path.getfilename(path),     "friendlyappname",     io.path.getfilenamewithoutextension(path)     )

but many applications name isn't present. know if there better way friendlyappname?

you can use filedescription property of fileversioninfo class.

var info = fileversioninfo.getversioninfo(                @"c:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office14\winword.exe"); console.writeline(info.filedescription);

prints:

microsoft word

you might think productname property makes more sense, if application belongs suite, productname hold name of suite. example in case of word, microsoft office.

i'm new python, question might easy, anyway, patience: as trying call newton-raphson method calculate implied volatility in black-scholes formula call/put option pricing, first thing is, newton method in scipy.optimize seems calculate function's zeros, in black-scholes formula, want function's value option price, not zero. (i'm new here programming, i'm not sure techniques.) should write function things like: def f(sigma, price): return bsformula(s0,k,r,t,q,sigma) - price then, while calling newton method, takes args=() 1 parameter in function, write this: value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=price) but error message: file "bs.py", line 36, in bsimpvol value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=float(price)) file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/optimize/zeros.py", line 143, in newton q0 = func(*((p0,) + args)) typeerror: can concatenate tuple (not "float") tuple could tell me why that? how fix it? apprecia...
