I am using Controller.RobotWareVersion to get the RobotWare version information but I have additional options installed that I would like to know which version is installed. These are listed in robot studio, controller properties, system properties, additional options.

I have looked into Controller.RobotWare.Options to get a list of the installed software but I didn’t see anything for version information in that list.

Hallo,  
they do not enumerate the versions of the options but the whole controller package.  
So a newer RobotWare might include a newer version of an option.
