How to find the windows installer version number?

Im trying to find out the windows installer version number for the previous release of our product.

It seems like it is a little different from the product version number, is there anyway to find out what the windows installer version number is? If I took a look at the MSI using Orca, there seems to be a product version in the Property of the MSI, something like 1.2.1234.5, would that be the windows installer version number?

During install, the Windows Installer version is stored in VersionMsi property. Please note that version 3.1 is stored as 3.01 and 4.5 as 4.05.

If you want to determine the Windows Installer version on your machine, simply check the msi.dll file in C:\Windows\system32 folder.
