Qt Installer Framework - Reading downloaded package version

[Laureta]

Hi all,

There seems to be very few folks using this tool, but I'll ask before migrating to a third party tool.
Using QtIFW-1.5.0, so far I am able to generate an online installer for my Win-32 application. The installer downloads the appropriate package from my web server and performs some operations defined in the control script installscript.qs, e.g. writing some keys into registry and creating a desktop shortcut with an icon:

Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
	try {
 
        // call the base create operations function
 
        component.createOperations();
 
        // Add some keys to registry;
 
        var userProfile = installer.environmentVariable("USERPROFILE");
        installer.setValue("UserProfile", userProfile);
        var reg = installer.environmentVariable("SystemRoot") + "\\System32\\reg.exe";
        var key= "HKCU\\Software\\Company\\Product";
        component.addOperation("Execute", reg, "ADD", key, "/f");
        component.addOperation("Execute", reg, "ADD", key, "/v", "productId", "/t", "REG_BINARY");
 
        // Add a desktop shortcut with icon:
        component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@\\MyExecutable.exe", "@UserProfile@\\Desktop\\MyExecutable.lnk",
                               "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@\\MyIcon.ico");
 
    } catch (e) {
 
        print(e);
 
    }
}

Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
	try {
        
        // call the base create operations function

        component.createOperations();

        // Add some keys to registry;
 
        var userProfile = installer.environmentVariable("USERPROFILE");
        installer.setValue("UserProfile", userProfile);
        var reg = installer.environmentVariable("SystemRoot") + "\\System32\\reg.exe";
        var key= "HKCU\\Software\\Company\\Product";
        component.addOperation("Execute", reg, "ADD", key, "/f");
        component.addOperation("Execute", reg, "ADD", key, "/v", "productId", "/t", "REG_BINARY");

        // Add a desktop shortcut with icon:
        component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@\\MyExecutable.exe", "@UserProfile@\\Desktop\\MyExecutable.lnk",
                               "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@\\MyIcon.ico");

    } catch (e) {

        print(e);

    }
}

All right, but another key I need to write into registry is the package VERSION NUMBER, defined in the installer configuration file config.xml in tag <Version></Version>
How can I get this value from installscript.qs ? I read --I'd said more: studied-- the docs https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtifw-ma...component.html and https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtifw-ma...installer.html and I have not found any reference to version.

So any help would be appreciated.
