There's no easy way to do this. Why do you want this? Why not just read the version number of your exe?
Retrieve Current Version Number
Is there any way to retrieve the current version number with the AutomaticUpdater control, without necessarily triggering an update check?
I'd like to display the version number from wyUpdate in my application. However, it seems that the Version property is null until the AutomaticUpdater actually goes out and checks for updates.
If this isn't available in the control currently, perhaps someone could lend a bit of guidance on implementing this myself? Poking through the AutomaticUpdater control, it looks as if the UpdateHelperData class may be a structure that corresponds to data in the Client.wyc file. Would I be able to use that class to read Client.wyc and determine the current installed version?
