Get-MsiDatabaseVersion function should do as you ask.
From
Andi Arismendi:
function Get-MsiDatabaseVersion {
param (
[IO.FileInfo] $FilePath
)
try {
$windowsInstaller = New-Object -com WindowsInstaller.Installer
$database = $windowsInstaller.GetType().InvokeMember(
"OpenDatabase", "InvokeMethod", $Null,
$windowsInstaller, @($FilePath.FullName, 0)
)
$q = "SELECT Value FROM Property WHERE Property = 'ProductVersion'"
$View = $database.GetType().InvokeMember(
"OpenView", "InvokeMethod", $Null, $database, ($q)
)
$View.GetType().InvokeMember("Execute", "InvokeMethod", $Null, $View, $Null)
$record = $View.GetType().InvokeMember(
"Fetch", "InvokeMethod", $Null, $View, $Null
)
$productVersion = $record.GetType().InvokeMember(
"StringData", "GetProperty", $Null, $record, 1
)
$View.GetType().InvokeMember("Close", "InvokeMethod", $Null, $View, $Null)
return $productVersion
} catch {
throw "Failed to get MSI file version the error was: {0}." -f $_
}
}
Get-MsiDatabaseVersion "C:\Installer.msi"
