QUERY: detect MS Installer or any exe file Version Number?

[dhruba.bandopadhyay]

I liked the VBS detect scripts to detect whether .NET is installed and which version.

Does anyone know if it's possible to detect whether Microsoft Installer 3.1 (KB893803) or later?

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to read file version number of an executable?

Here is a script that will list the KB info you wanted and the version of net frameworked installed

StrComputer = "."
  Dim objQuickFix, RP_1, RP_2, RP_3, RP_4, Ts
  Dim Uptotal	   : Uptotal = 0 
  Dim ObjWMI		: Set ObjWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & StrComputer & "\root\cimv2")
  Dim colQuickFixes : Set colQuickFixes = ObjWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_QuickFixEngineering")
'/-> WMI Querry For The KB
	If colQuickFixes.Count = 0 Then 
	 WScript.Echo "No Installed updates"
	End If 
	For Each objQuickFix in colQuickFixes
	  RP_1 = objQuickFix.Description
	  RP_2 = objQuickFix.HotFixID
	  RP_3 = objQuickFix.InstalledOn
	  RP_4 = objQuickFix.InstalledBy
	 If InStr(RP_1,"Windows") Then
	 If InStr(RP_1,"KB893803") Then 
	   MsgBox "Confirm Window Installer" & vbCrLf & RP_1 & vbCrLf & RP_2, 0 + 32, "Window Installer"
	  End If 
	 End If 
	Next 

 Dim NetRpt
'/-> Querry For Net Framework
 Set colItems = ObjWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Product")
 For Each objItem in colItems
	If InStr(objItem.Name, "Microsoft .NET Framework") > 0 Then
		NetRpt = NetRpt & vbCrLf & objItem.Version
	End If
Next
MsgBox NetRpt, 0 + 32, "Net Frame Work"
