Hello, how can a script determine the version of the installed Sandboxie? Is there a registry key for that?

I'm writing a script to deploy and upgrade Sandboxie in a workgroup. It has three steps:
1. If the current version is installed, exit.
2. If Sandboxie is installed then it must not be current, upgrade then exit.
3. Sandboxie must not be installed, install it.

I've only found:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Sandboxie\DisplayName
but haven't determined what happens when I upgrade. Will the value in there change.

Or does anyone have a better Windows BAT script for running this? Thanks.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools includes a program called filever.exe.

You should be able to execute this program on some EXE file in the Sandboxie installation folder and get the version number.

In a future version I will add an option to Start.exe to display the current version of Sandboxie. It's a good idea.

Thanks, I will try this! Thanks for the great product.

Sandboxie version 3.47.01 adds this feature as part of the new Sandboxie License Manager.

To display the version, use:



For command line output, invoke from a command prompt console:



Or for use in a batch file:



Note that using batch-% variables in batch files requires using two percent signs, so inside a batch file, use %%A instead of just %A.
