How to automatically detect the version of installed Azure SDK?

Question

Is there a simple (documented?) way to detect the actually installed version of Azure SDK in automation script? I am going to define conditional behavior depending on this version.

Currently, I just look into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\ folder and review its content. But I find it not reliable and not automatable.

If you used the Windows Platform Installer to install the SDK (which I believe is the standard way to do it now), you can use webpicmd.exe to determine which SDK is installed. For example:

webpicmd /List /ListOption:Installed

For those who are still looking for this, you can do so by using Azure powershell cmdlets.

Get-AzureDeployment -ServiceName "<service name>" -slot "<Production or Staging>" | Where-Object -Property SdkVersion | select SdkVersion

Navigate to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\.NET SDK

The version will be the folder name contained within this directory.
