Determine the Current VISA Version Programmatically

[Sarah_R]

Overview
This program may be used to programmatically determine the VISA Version on your current system.

Description
The VISA Version is stored in the Windows Registry.  This program accesses that particular registry key to programmatically determine the VISA Version. This program follows the typical "open, operate, close, handle errors" algorithm. First, the program opens the registry key in which the VISA Version is stored. Then the VI read the VISA Version, and close the registry key at last step.

Thanks for posting.  Could you please embed a screenshot so we know what the code looks like?  Also, please rename your attachment to include the version number ("_lvXX.vi" would work).

Great example.  A good approach for determining any SW, and its version, installed on a local machine.
