I'm testing different version of a Windows software, the version of this software doesn't seem to be kept in the registry. I'm trying to find a CLI tool or a command to get the version of any software on Windows.

I tried looking at the registry but the version doesn't seem to be there. Therefore reg query command won't help me. I've performed Google searches to find out if anybody already tried that or built a tool for this but... no luck so I ended here.

The returned output can be anything... as long as the version is written. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Can you specify what all applications you are trying to track for versions? Every application has a variety of ways of reporting their versions, you would need to look at their official documentations to get version information. – AmeyaVS Aug 09 '19 at 08:38

I found this eventually How can I find the product GUID of an installed MSI setup? - thats pretty much what I needed. It is going to be a little bit more complicated then I thought. I have to find the product GUID before querying the registry in my case.

I want to achieve this when using a bash terminal. If anybody already found a solution, I would be curious to know what was it.
