--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote  ---
Your interest is of course Windows and working against the MS Windows Registry
data. The project instead works with our internal build IDs (an SHA1 HASH of
the last commit checked out for the build). The update listing accessed via
CURL processed PHP is maintained here:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/website/tree/check.php?h=update

And, in the LibreOffice installation directory buildID is recorded in the
program/version.ini or resources/versionrc file 

=-=-=

So, for your interest you do not need to know version or GUID to query the
installation in Windows registry.

Issue from the command window:
For native 32-bit or 64-bit
reg query "HKLM\Software\The Document Foundation\LibreOffice" /s /v
ProductVersion

For 32-bit run via WOW6432Node
reg query "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\The Document Foundation\LibreOffice" /s /v
ProductVersion

You'll see returns for two GUID, the "UpgradeCode"
{4B17E523-5D91-4E69-BD96-7FD81CFA81BB} code, which the project has been holding
fixed. And the GUID for the installed "Product Code", which will have an entry
in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key.

Alternatively this can be done from a PowerShell session:

Issue PS command:
gwmi win32_product -filter "vendor='The Document Foundation'"

Here you'll see just the MSI ProductID GUID as the IdentifyingNumber

Easy to script either way.
