Determining ActiveSync version Programaticly

[Kevin Z Grey]

Heya,

Is there a way to determine the Client and Provider
side ActiveSync versions from either the Desktop or the
PocketPC? I'm attempting to automate system information
for multiple PocketPC's and Desktops and it would save me
time.

On the desktop you can use GetFileVersionInfo and VerQueryValue to check the
file version of \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe
(the actual path is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE
Services\InstalledDir).
The above registry key also contains major and minor version but it will not
make a distinction between 3.7 and 3.7.1

As for the device side, I don't believe there is a version difference other
than in OS version (2002 vs. 2003), but I could be wrong. Try asking this
one in the pocketpc.activesync NG

Thanks Alex, I'll give it a try.
