In a related security.stackexchange.com question, I asked for ways to find security advisories for specific software. I'd like to automate this process, but I found a mismatch between my database of Microsoft versions that includes build numbers (like 9.00.3027.00) and actual market version names (like - let's say - 2013). How could I translate those in either way (build numbers to version names or the other way round)? Is there a library in any language that would let me do that for Microsoft products (and most preferably other vendors?)

  • There's going to be a lot of builds for Outlook 2003, so converting numbers is going to be impossible, no? – Pekka Dec 08 '15 at 12:00
  • @Pekka웃: you're right, but even having the major number would already be a huge win for me. The thing is that I'm looking for ways to automate the process. – d33tah Dec 08 '15 at 12:01

  • @Pekka웃: Yes, but I would have to convert all this knowledge to lot of product-specific functions. I'm looking for libraries that can already do that. – d33tah Dec 08 '15 at 12:04
