Getting your current version

[Jennell_Little]

Is there a way using the InstallShield APIs to get the current version that is being installed? I tried using $P(.key.version.major).$P(.key.version.minor) as Robert Dickau suggested in aother post but that doesn't seem to work for me.

As a quick test, this wizard action seems to do it:

import com.installshield.wizard.*;
import com.installshield.wizard.service.*;
import com.installshield.product.*;
import com.installshield.product.service.product.*;

public class GetVersionTest extends WizardAction
{
    private static final String SRC = ProductService.DEFAULT_PRODUCT_SOURCE;

    public void execute(WizardBeanEvent event)
    {
        try
        {
            ProductService ps = (ProductService)getService(ProductService.NAME);
            String rootbeanid = ps.getProductTreeRoot(SRC);

            SoftwareObjectKey rootsok =
                (SoftwareObjectKey)ps.getProductBeanProperty(
                    SRC, rootbeanid, "key");

            SoftwareVersion sv = rootsok.getVersion( );

            javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                sv.getMajor( ) + "." +
                sv.getMinor( ) + "." +
                sv.getMaintenance( ));

        } catch(ServiceException drat) { drat.printStackTrace( ); }
    }
}

That was exactly what I needed. It works great. Thanks!
