Hello,

You can use: $version = (Get-MSIFileInformation -FilePath "pathToYourMSI.msi").ProductVersion

Or did I misunderstand your request?

I'd like to run a dos bacyh like

powershell -c "powershellcommands"

and get the MSI version as DOS variable or as text file.

The scope is use in a bach file to analyze the msi file, get version, and set the file name using version.

You can use powershell -Command "& { . path\To\Get-MSIFileInformation.ps1; (Get-MsiFileInformation -FilePath 'pathToYourMSI.msi').ProductVersion }"

This command will load and run the function within the brackets {}.
