Specifically I want to be able to query the site from an application to check if there is a newer version of an install kit available for download, and I want a web page to display the version number of an msi-file available on the site.
I gave wrapping MsiGetFileVersion in msi.dll a quick try, but it doesn't give me anything. Might be that the below method is not the one I want.
Any ideas?
[DllImport("msi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
extern static public uint MsiGetFileVersion(string path, StringBuilder version,
ref uint versionSize, StringBuilder language, ref uint languageSize);

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
