how to read the product version number of the installer properties programmatically

[dliechti]

In my application (.exe) I want to read the product version number (e.g. 1.0.9), which I entered in the application builder. (Installer Settings -> Properties). Is that possible with LabVIEW? The revision number of the VI doesn't help me much, because it is increased each time I save the VI.

Thanks for answers

The verison number you entered in the application builder (Installer Settings -> Properties) is the version associated with the installer not the exe.

One way to keep track of a version associated with a LV exe is to include a subVI in your exe that stores and returns this value. You'd just have to update it yourself before building your exe.
