How can I get the version of the GPIB driver from Visual Basic ?

I want to readout from visual Basic which version of GPIB-Driver is installed on the PC. I must change some parameters for my application when GPIB 2.0 runs instead of 1.7.
Thanks for any solution...

Hi,

The driver should create a key in registry depending on the driver version. Check for the existance of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-488.2M\ (In my case I had a folder called 2.00).

Hope this helps out.
