How to find out current version of Outlook from VSTO Addin?

Question

I think my searching skills are terrible today, but I am trying to find out which version of Office Outlook in my add-in running in?

i.e., I need to know if my add-in is running with Outlook 2007 or 2010

Is there any API that I can leverage to find out the current outlook version?

Thanks, Harsha

This gives me a version in "16.0.0.XXXX" format but while i see the version under File -> Office Account -> "About Outlook" it shows 16.0.XXXX.XXXX format also doesn't match any part except 16.0, I want to check it's minor version how would I do that? – Hitendra Apr 13 '17 at 09:52

That sounds like a pretty neat solution. Additionally, You can also see the version number in the registry (12 / 14 / etc). – Harsha R Apr 30 '11 at 11:51
