Where exactly are you trying to get it? If from custom code, the API MsiGetProperty() should work for you.

Antonyh,
Thanks for ur reply.But I need to know the .msi file product version.msiget proerty is used only for the Installed products in the target machine.But before executing .msi I need to know the product version.
I need to check the product version nad then install the product if the version is higher.For this I need to know the product version.

If your prevoius product is also a MSI package, and your current product has the same upgrade code, this should all be done automagically for you.
Otherwise, I think you should be able to query the MSI package directly (without installing it first), although I have never tried anything along this lines...

Well, let me first digest ur question.
u were saying:
u need to know the Product Version of this MSI package BEFORE Install it right ?
As mentioned by mgrove, if the product has already installed, the msi engine will do this for u in the case that they are with the same Product Code & Upgrade Code...
but if u want to know it MANUALLY, this tool should help you.. Orca. Download the MSI SDK from microsoft web site and run it to view the msi tables.
The Product Version is stored in Property table of the msi package.
hope this helps !
