Check which version of Excel is installed
I'm creating a small application for OS X. I need to check which version of Microsoft Excel is installed on a user's machine. Can I do this straight from LiveCode or do I need to add some AppleScript to my code? Was looking at "files" in LiveCode, but this doesn't seem to give me the version number.

Hi japino,
5 seconds with GOOGLE showed me this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3455046?tstart=0
Here the relevant part to use with SHELL:
...
mdls -name kMDItemVersion <path to file>
...
