Is there a means in the VISA API to retrieve installed version numbers of VXI and VISA?

Hi oevidneg,

If you need to check your software versions programattically in LabVIEw you can do so using the System Configuration API, but I don't think that functionailty is available in the NI-VISA API. Otherwise, you can use the links below to find installed version numbers for your NI software:
