Overview
This VI demonstrates how to find what version of a program a user has installed on their computer.

 
Description
Here is a brief description of the example:

For example, you can use this VI to find how many and what versions of LabVIEW are installed on your machine. This information can be used to make programmatic decisions in different parts of your code.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download and open the VI
  2. Enter Program File Folder and Program Name as described in the notes on the VI
