How can I get a file version using a device driver?

Question

I have a device driver that obtains the complete path to a binary eg:

  C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe

Is there a kernel level call that I can make similar to "GetFileVersionInfo" to obtain the product version of the binary?

OR can I just use:

how to use the GetFileVersionInfo function?

Thanks
