    I just want to know the version info which is installed.
    I found this
    get-childitem <path where ssms.ex is located>\ssms.exe | Format-List VersionInfo

    If you mean the SSMS version, click Help-->About from the SSMS menu bar to see your currently installed version. You can also check for a newer version with Tools-->Check for updates.

    To see the SQL Server version, RunSELECT @@VERSION; from an SSMS query window connected to the database server.

    SSMS is an IDE for developing queries. What is the context under which you'd need to know the version? Are you trying to invoke SSMS via Powershell, which doesn't make sense to me, and need a particular version? Or are you trying to ensure that SSMS is up to date on a client machine?
