There are a couple of ways.  In 'Add/Remove Programs', select the package and 
click where it says 
'Click here for support information'.  The info on that dialog should include 
the version number. 
If you need to get it programmatically, then the info can be found under the 
following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<ProductGuid>
