Calling the ProductVersion Property for the GEPlugin appears to always
return v1.0.0.0 even though the GEPlugin file version appears to be
changing with subsequent versions of the GEPlugin/GE installations.
Also the version of the file appears to be v5.1.x.x whereas the
version number reported throught the ProductVersion is 1.0.0.0

This is a problem because we cannot detect changes in the GEPlugin COM
component and so code bound to the COM interface fails when the
version of the plugin updates.

Hi PeteV,

Are you referring to google.earth.Version? You can find the version
of the plugin you are using by instantiating an earth instance (for
example as 'ge') and then running

ge.getPluginVersion().toString()

Cheers,

-Josh
