Assume I have an *.8bf Photoshop plugin file.

Now I want to find out what version this plugin is.

Is this possible WITHOUT installing it?

I could imagine that a hex editor would reveal this.
Or a tool exists similar to an *.exe info tool which shows all relevant infos of an *.8bf file.

Or vary the internal Plugin data structures completely from Plugin to plugin ?

right click on the *.8bf file to bring up a context menu, choose properties and there will be several tabs to look at re: the file. The vendor may/may not have included the version. BTW, this applies to uncompressed files. If the file is compressesed (SFX, ZIP, etc.) in an installation file, you will have to extract it, if possible.
