Find version of Chrome browser in registry

Question

How do I get Chrome version using PowerShell? I tried the following query:

(Get-ItemProperty 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome').DisplayVersion

This didn't work.

Answer 1

This is probably what you want (it reads the version of the executable, not a value from the registry):

(Get-Item (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe').'(Default)').VersionInfo
