It depends which type of files you are checking.
For exe/dll files you could check with FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo.
Otherwise you could possibly compare the last download/install time.

You could use this:
Code: Select all
Dim fvo As FileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("test.exe")
MsgBox(fvo.FileVersion)
