Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I have an about form in my application and would like to know how I can obtain the currently installed ProductVersion number and display it (this is <b>NOT</b> a ClickOnce Deloyment). I would like to show the user what version they currently have without them going to Control Panel etc.<br />
<br />
I know how to do this using ClickOnce but I am using Advanced Installer and would like to show the ProductVersion number the user would see if they went to Control Panel &gt;uninstall progam etc.<br />
<br />
Many thanks for your help on this?

How can get the installed ProductVersion number in C# or VB using Advanced Installer

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Microsoft Applications

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.
