Proper deployment of an application is done through an installer, so all required components to ensure functionality are properly distributed throughout the target system. There are multiple types of known installers, with a popular one being MSI. With GetMSIVersion, all there is to know about an MSI file is shown in a command line interface.
The application is merely a command line utility and needs to be launched through the Command Prompt. An elevated instance is not necessarily required to make it work correctly. To save time and effort, it's best to have the target MSI file placed inside the application's source folder.
Only the MSI file needs to be provided in the code, but some switches need to be used depending on the depth and type of information to extract. Product name and versions can be revealed using /n and /v switches respectively. Additionally, the /a switch can gather all information about the installer, build components, error handling, and more in the form of /a *.msi, where /a can be replaced with either /n or /v.
