DCS version (currently 1.2.5.16508) where to read ?

[galevsky06]

Hi,

 

I have created an installer for a Pack that set up different files (skins, mods etc...) and I want to read the current version of DCS.

 

I back up original files for mods that do changes, and I want to store the DCS version. Because my Pack can be uninstall, and the back-up files are restored.

 

But I don't want to restore them if the version of DCS has changed !

 

In the win registry, I can read:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\version = 1.2.2.7570

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\FC3\version = 1.2.2.7570

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CA\version = 1.2.2.7570

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\KA-50\version = 1.2.3.9871

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\A-10C\version = 1.2.3.9871

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\P-51D\version = 1.2.3.10201

 

Question: Is the version number v1.2.5.16508 only available in the .exe ? Can I find it somewhere easily ?

 

If I should use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\version instead, can somebody confirm me that each time a new update is released, this registry key value changes accordingly ?

 

Thanks for your help !

No one knows ?

UP ! :)

No one knows how my installers can not-so-hardly find the current DCS World version ? :cry:

dcs already backs up and stores any mods before updating your client/install

[galevsky06]

Not what I want. I want to be able to do my own back-up of original DCS files, then restore them if the guy uninstall MY mods via MY installer, but I don't want to restore outdated stuff, so I have to care about DCS versions.

I am really stuck with that issue. Could somebody translate my question to Russian forum below ?!?? :(

Right Click any of the DLLs in the Bin Folder and goto Properties and over a Tab to Version, and it will show the version.

Ok, I am looking for an automated way to get it from an installer. The installation process cannot do right clicks... :(
