API to return WinUSB version?

NTDEV

Is there a way to programmatically determine currently installed version of WinUSB? I searched WinUSB documentation and there is no such API at the WinUSB DLL level. It seems to depend on WDF version, and how can one find that out programmatically?

Thanks for your time.

It doesn’t really matter, does it? If you’re going to use WinUSB, you
need to create a driver package with an INF and the WinUSB co-installer,
so you’ll be installing your own version anyway. That ensures that you
will have at least the version you’re shipping, possibly later. If you
can take advantage of a later version, then you should be shipping the
later version.

I don’t see how this information could be of any use.

Can you read the version resource of the binary? GetFileVersionInfoEx should
work eh?

This is not a robust approach. In some cases the driver in memory can be different than the file on disk such as an installer update that needs a system restart.
