How to read a particular software version installed inside TestStand?

I wanted to read a particular tool version installed on the machine to log inside my test report.

Do you pull this from the registry?  Add/Remove Programs?  Where can you get this info?

You can use additional results to log the actual version.  Or you can put in in the Report Text of a step.  Just depends on what you are going for exactly.

Does it impact the pass/fail status of the test?  If so then a String Value Test would probably be the best.

I there any dos command which we can execute and read the result in TestStand?

I am testing a tool which is installer. I wanted to run tests for this tool and wanted to log the version currently installed on the PC as an tool version I am executing tests for.

I got on dos command which can read the installed version. But I am not sure how I can read the command response in TestStand.
