Get the version of an installed (but not necessarily running) RStudio

On Windows, prefers the Version value written to the registry by the installer (the VERSION file on disk can hold an unrelated Electron shell build number on newer RStudio releases). Falls back to parsing the VERSION file that RStudio Desktop places in its install directory.

Usage

get_installed_rstudio_version()

Value

A numeric_version() object, or NULL if it could not be determined.
