anyone know how to figure out what the last used version of PC-DMIS was? i tried getting the last access date from the executables, but that doesn't seem to ever change...
PC-DMIS stores its last run version in a registry key. I do something like this...
Public Function GetLastVersionExecutable() As String
Dim pcdRegKey As RegistryKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("PCDLRN.Application\CLSID\", False)
Dim pcdLast As String = pcdRegKey.GetValue("").ToString
pcdRegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\" & pcdLast & "\LocalServer32\", False)
Dim pcdLastVersion As String = pcdRegKey.GetValue("").ToString
Return pcdLastVersion
End Function
No problem! Executable files generally do not modify themselves, and those that do are
usually malicious in nature. In most cases you shouldn't see the last modified/access date change other than at install, on update, or if you mess with it somehow (copy/paste, etc.)
