How to get exact version on Windows App SDK installed

Question

Hi,

I am working on the WinUI3 desktop app in CPP. I am using unpackaged mode. To run the WinUI3 app we need to install Windows App Runtime. Suppose I install Windows App Runtime 1.3.230602002, how will I know that Windows App Runtime 1.3.230602002 is installed on a machine?

I tried using

(get-appxpackage micro*win*appruntime*).packagefullname

but this gave

Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.2_2000.747.1945.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

here I can't see any ref to version 1.3.230602002, but it is saying 1.3_3000.882.2207, how are these 2 versions related? It would be really helpful if u could clarify how these version numbers are related

Thank you
