Windows Registry location for Google Chrome version

Where does Google Chrome store its version information locally?

I'm developing a Lua script to access application version information found in the Windows registry, but can't find a registry key associated with the current installed version of Google Chrome Browser.

The closest I've found was this, which indicates that the version info can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome.

However, on my system, there is no Google Chrome subkey under Uninstall in the HKCU hive or corresponding HKEY_USERS paths. Any thoughts?
