I might be wrong, but try checking bytes. Get byte array for both files and check each locations.

Use File.ReadAllBytes() to get a byte array of the file. Like this take two byte arrays represents two files. By checking the array length, you will find which is big one. If both are same length, then loop through each bytes and check with the same location in second array. Hope you can make it.
