Get Rom Version

[Guest]

Does anybody know how to get the ROM version of the pocket pc device that the
Compact Framework application is running on? I want to pick up the ROM
version information in my code to put into a log file if there are errors
when my application is running. I was able to the the operating system
version and compact framework version using the Environment command.

If you are running on WM5.0 then you can retrieve the AKU version from the
registry:-

Individual OEMs have their own versioning scheme for ROM updates separately
from the OS version and they aren't recorded in a standard place.

Thank you for the help. I will soon be working with WM 5.0 devices, but
right now I am still working with WM 2003. I am working with HP iPAQ
systems. I would like to be able to see what the HP Asset Viewer shows me on
the Settings/Version screen.

These versions are usually hard coded inside applications like asset viewer
and not accessible. AKU number is your best (and only) bet.
