Determine Visual Studio Update Version in NuGet

Is it possible to determine in init.ps1, whether Update 2 (or later) of Visual Studio 2012 Premium is installed? I found $dte.Version and $dte.Edition, but more detailed information seems to be missing ...

dte.Version should be the Information you need. The following post shows the version numbers for Update 1 (11.0.51106.01) and Update 4 (11.0.61030.00) (I can confirm this value)

Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 installs but still says Update 1

Edit:

OK, seems to be a bit harder: You can retrieve the path to devenv.exe with $dte.FullName and then retrieve the file-version.

My powershell knowledge is very limited, so here is the c# code:

FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe")

The resulting FileVersionInfo has the property ProductVersion which contains the information you need.
