How to get currently installed driver version number

[ylihaha]

Our software has a feature which works with version 4.0167 but not with 4.0163. Is there a way to get exact version of currently installed PDF-XChange driver, for example from IPXCControlEx object. This way our software could warn user about old version and advice to update. This would decrease helpdesk workload.

Hello Harri,

You can get the file version for either pdfSaver4.exe or drvui40.dll

Both are located in the folder pointed by the "InstallPath" key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange 4.0\Drivers
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange 4.0\Drivers

Best,
Stefan

Hi

Yes it's works but it was quite a task. I'm using PDF-XChange from Progress 4GL language which has no build in functions for reading registry or getting file version information so I had to call external functions from "advapi32.dll" and such. It would have been nice just to ask IPXCControlEx for it's version but anyhow now it works.

Thanks,
Harri
