Get the UUID of the product
There are Java classes/methods (ProductRegistryService, getProducts...) to look in the Product Registry (/var/.com.zerog.registry.xml on Unix, C:\program files\...\... on Windows)
However, it seems to work with UUIDs. I wanted to know if it's possible to know its own Product, Vendor, Component UUID?
That is, I would like to know if the product is already installed. So, I use my own UUID to find all the instances of my own product in the product registry, then I can do deeper and compre versions etc.
However I don't know my own UUID... Is there some way of getting it through Java, in some IA variable...?
Thanks!!!

OK, it's an InstallAnywhere variable, $PRODUCT_ID$, which contains the product id. From there, I can get the information I needed.
(And I swear I looked at the variable list two times, I still missed it. I'm ashamed.)
