Get the version of setup

Get the version of setup

• Craig N

  Can you help clarify what you mean < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

   

  Are you interested in the ClickOnce publish version

  Are you interested in the version of the Bootstrapper (setup.exe)

  Are you interested in the version of the built .MSI from a setup project

   

  How do you want to get this version Manually, from code within Visual Studio, from code that runs outside Visual Studio

  Yes, you can use the Windows Installer Object Model to either, get a list of installed applications and their versions, or use it to open a built .MSI file and extract the Version from it.

  This walkthrough provides a sample of how to pass data to a Custom Action.  You can pass the ProductVersion property instead.

  Hi,

  I am interested in the version of the built .MSI from a setup project.
  I need to get the version from code in c# on the time when the setup is installed.

  Thank's

  Hi,

  I have found how to use this objects:
  Code in function:

  WindowsInstaller.Installer installer = new WindowsInstallerClass() as Installer;
  string pname, ver;
  foreach(string prod in installer.Products)
  {
  try
  {
  pname = installer.get_ProductInfo (prod, "InstalledProductName");
  if (pname.Trim().ToLower().Equals(ClsConfig.getAppConfigS("Title").Trim().ToLower()))
  {
  ver = installer.get_ProductInfo (prod, "VersionString");
  this.lblApp.Text = this.lblApp.Text + " (" + ver + ")";
  }
  }
  catch
  {
  }
  }
  installer = null;

  ----

  Code of class:

  [ComImport, Guid("000c1090-0000-0000-c000-000000000046")]
  internal class WindowsInstallerClass{}

  -----

  using WindowsInstaller;

  (Add refence to MSI.DLL)

  Thank's
  Alexei
