ArcGIS Pro Build Numbers vs Versions

Arne_Gelfert — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 19:29:59 GMT

Is there a way to capture the version or full build number of ArcGIS Pro during install? Currently the build number does not help identify the actual version.

Example: ArcGIS Pro gets upgraded from 2.9.x to 2.9.6 but in Windows (Apps/Features) it still shows up as Build 2.9.32739, without a version. Makes it really hard to monitor what versions are installed across a large number of machines with things like SCCM.

Only work-around is by script and grabbing the version from

arcpy.GetInstallInfo()

rather than the Build Number. But why doesn't a combination of both get captured?

Registry shows:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Updates\2.9_0_6: Name: ArcGIS Pro 2.9 Patch 6 (2.9.6)

Windows (Apps/Features) shows as below after applying Patch 6 to ArcGIS Pro 2.9

Navigate to 'Programs and Features' > Installed Updates

Many organizations deploy ArcGIS Pro silently using packages of their choice. Examples at the link may help in capturing the version during install. Hope this helps!

@AyanPalit - thanks for the reply. I am familiar with installing silently or as packages. I was just wondering what good the info re: the BuildNumber is if 2.9.4 and 2.9.6 get logged as the same Build. There is nothing in your first screenshot that tells me that this is 2.9.6. Appreciate you chiming in.
