Try this 

osascript -e 'tell the application "Finder" to set theVersion to version of ((((path to (applications folder)) as string) & "Microsoft Office 2004:Microsoft Entourage:") as alias)'

it returns this 
11.2.5 (060620), © 2004 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved

and does not launch Entourage.

Peace, Tim

Thank you for your time

Yes, that works.

However it has a very serious unwanted side effect (for me anyway), which
was the launching of the application on the clients end (big surprise).

So now where is the file that controls the auto launch of the assistant?

You could use an AppleScript command:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to version

If you have to work in the shell, you can use osascript to run this command:

osascript -e 'tell application "microsoft Entourage" to version'

Subject: Command for version

Is there a shell command I can issue from ARD that can extract the Entourage
version number?
Using ARD’s File Search (v2.2) is WAY to painful.

I need to easily find everyone below 11.2.
