Get Installed Version information

[Adrian Dev]

Hi,

Installed products all have an entry in the registry. To get a particular products version using basic registry manipulation, would involve enumerating all the hives, searching for the product name, as the hive name is a code.

Is there a fuction to get the 'DisplayVersion' for an installed product directly ?


thanks, Adrian

If your using C# and have the version stored in an app.config file, you
can retrieve programmatically using the following code snippet:

using System.Reflection;

string VersionNumber =
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version.Major.ToString() + "." +
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version.Minor.ToString();
