Another way is to call the MsiGetProductInfo function. Pass the product code
GUID as the first parameter (including the surrounding braces). Pass the
string "VersionString" for the second parameter.

(installed)
Sorry,
I think i didn't mention my question properly.
Actually I wanted to know the version number of an already installed
package.
Thanks!!

You could use Orca to open the MSI and look at the ProductVersion property
in the Properties table.
But I find it easier to author my packages so that the version is in the
Explorer tool tip for the MSI file.
The way I do this is to put the version in the Comments attribute of the
Package tag.
So that I don't have to update the comment every time I make a new version,
I simply use the same pre-processor variable definition that I use elsewhere
in my WiX source such as the Version attribute of the Product tag and the
Upgrade entries.

Hello,
Is there any method to find out the version number (major.minor.build) of
our msi package.
Thanks in advance.
