I'm trying to recreate a Rainmeter version of a Conky desktop I have on a Linux machine.
The first thing is I do not know of a good place to pull the graphic driver build version 471.41. The best place I have found so far is from the registry at the location below.
Code: Select all
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\Drivers
Not too sure if that location will still be valid after a driver update.
The second thing is I'm having a problem with extracting only the driver build version from the string below.
It displays like this as two lines.
Code: Select all
Display.Driver/471.41
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\Display.Driver.{069EA8E7-9276-47C7-9697-6F394EAEDA7B}\nv_dispi.inf
Any help and advice would be super appreciated.

jsmorley, thanks for the reply.
I apologize because I was not clear or specific enough in my request. I am looking to obtain what I will call the build number.
Looks like this 471.41
Thanks
