How does DIAdem keep track of which version is active when multiple versions are installed?

I need a way to find out which version of DIAdem is active, without creating an automation reference. How does DIAdem keep track of this? I don't think it's through the registry as far as I can tell. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "version of DIAdem is active". If you are trying to reference DIAdem from an external program, you will need to use an automation reference. Besides this case, I am not sure what you are referring to.

Perhaps a short description of your application or intended use will help me point you in the right direction.

I am using an automation reference. If I run DIAdem 8.1, the reference gives me 8.1. If then I run DIAdem 9.0, the reference gives me 9.0. So the computer must be keeping track of the program that was run most recently... Thanks!
