How can I retrieve the version of windows programs?

I'm talking about MS-Office actually. I want to check the version so
as to use different methods depenting on this version.

Is there an "ifdef" or something?

thanks in advance
:)

While I thank you for your response mate, my question is
"Can I retrieve the version of the MS Office I use via
C# code"
:roll:

I'm not so novice a user of windblows :wink:
