Find version of Chrome browser in registry


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


Here is a script to get GC version and save it in a file on a server.Hope you can use it.

#Set file path to store data$filepathToStoreData = '\\v-server\Reports\O365ver\version.txt'#Get Hostname$hostname = Get-Content env:computername#Get Google Chrome Version$GCVersionInfo = (Get-Item (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe').'(Default)').VersionInfo#Write-Host $GCVersionInfo.ProductVersion$GCVersion = $GCVersionInfo.ProductVersion#Add Date and Time$CDate = Get-Date$lineToWriteInFile = "$hostname,$GCVersion,$CDate"#Writeversions in file$lineToWriteInFile | Out-File -Encoding unicode -Append $filepathToStoreData$lineToWriteInFile | Out-File -Encoding unicode -Append '´n'


It appears that this location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\BLBeacon now has the version value with the name version
