teststand deployment version

[david_jenkinson]

HI,

When building my teststand distribution I have it auto incrementing the deployment version under installer options/advanced options.  Where can I read this version on the deployed system?  I want to tell what version is installed.  Is this a property somewhere?

Thanks

Hi David

One way to check the version of your TestStand deployment is going to Control Panel >> Uninstall a Program and check the version of your deployment from the list of software installed.

I guess I was hoping for a way to display this when running the test.  I could start a manual versioning method but thought I would try to utilize the already existing "version"  number tracked when building, so I wouldn't have to remember to update it.  Is there no other place this version is contained?

Thanks

This is really ugly, and it's not robust, but it works for now (could quit working with any upgrade of the deployment utility).

It digs into the .tsd file to find the version number.

(Of couse you have to include the .tsd file in the deployment).
