Detect Allegro Version from PowerShell

Quist

From a PowerShell script, Is it possible to detect if Allegro/OrCAD is installed on the computer and in that case which version and which hotfix?

    I have a concern.  It seems like you would want to launch dbdoctor from a specific path for the major versions, not have the windows search order decide for you.  

    Then grab the patch level from the output of that specific 16.6, 17.2 or 17.4 dbdoctor.  (I am not proud of my workflow.)
