How to get the version of the installed agent [closed]

Question

Hi,

I want to write a VBS Script to install the agent on the clients with a computer-startup script.

But I want only execute the agent-installer if a older version of the agent is installed. I don't want run the installer.exe at every time the computer is booting.

Can I read a registry key where the installed agent version?

Greetings

Eugen

or use the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\OCS Inventory NG Agent\DisplayVersion"

version 2.4.0 has this key

2.4.0.0

Kind regards
