Detect Driver Version

[Haugan]

Hi,

I would like to detect the version of the driver installed (1.4.2)? How do I do this reliably? I tried to get the version of the nican.dll file but that version doesn't seem to be related to the software release version (1.4.2).

I found a DLL called "NidnetVersion.dll" that seem to have the correct version number that I am looking for. However, this file was only located in the "NI-DNET\bin" directory where I installed the software (which means that it won't be found by "LoadLibrary").

Thanks,

Olav Haugan

Hi Olav,

you can get that information from the registry. Navigate to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-DNET\CurrentVersion branch and look for the 'Version' entry. The version on that DLL is not guaranteed to have the 'right' version.
