Is it possible to get version installed chrome version using command prompt in windows?
Tried,
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -version
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --version
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -product-version
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --product-version
When i do that, a browser instance is opening. What flag should I be using to get the version.
I am using Windows 7. Google Chrome version is 67.0.3396.87.
Thanks in advance

As of today user4851's is still working. I took a look at his linked bug report and the proposed work around did not work for me anymore.
Anways a new hkey is present in my directory which allows you to query the chrome version without being aware of the actual installation location:
reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\BLBeacon" /v version
There's a bug filed about this:
Original Answer (but see the update below)
What works for me is
wmic datafile where name="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe" get Version /value
It prints
Version=67.0.3396.99
surrounded by some blank lines.
There are some other suggestions in the bug comments, like querying the registry.
