Getting the Chrome version without it updating itself

Somebody wanted to know how to get the product version of Google Chrome without going to the "about" page, since that could cause an auto-update. I suggested a method that works on many programs including Chrome: consult the Details tab of the executable's Properties window. If the version was included by the program's author, it'll be in the Product version row. You can pull that from a running process by using PowerShell:

(Get-Process 'chrome').MainModule[0].ProductVersion
