Find the current service pack version of Civil 3D

[stacy.dunn]

I am looking for an automated way in .net to obtain the service pack version of Civil 3D 2013 and newer.

I found where I can get the application version but not the service pack information.  Am I limited to searching the registry?

I believe the registry search is the only way, Stacy. And to make it more interesting, Autodesk changes where the information is saved from time to time...2016 is different than 2012-2015.

@stacy.dunn, Here is the result from the code below:

Command: GETSPS
C3D 2012:
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP1
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP1.1
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP1.2
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP1.3
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP1.4
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP2.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP2.1
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP3.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 SP4.0
C3D 2013:
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 HF1
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 HF1.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 HF2.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 HF2.1
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 HF3.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 SP1.0
AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 SP2.0
C3D 2014:
Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 HF1.0
Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 SP1.0

Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 SP2.0
Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 SP3.0
C3D 2016:
Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 SP1.0
Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 SP2.0

This code is rough, gets only Civil3D information, but does the job. Much of this was derived from my AutoCADMRUCLeaner code.
