VersionIndependentProgID
Associates a ProgID with a CLSID. This value is used to determine the latest version of an object application.
Registry Entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID
{CLSID}
VersionIndependentProgID = Program.Component
Remarks
This is a REG_SZ value that specifies the latest version of the object application.
The version-independent ProgID is stored and maintained solely by application code. When given the version-independent ProgID, the CLSIDFromProgID function returns the CLSID of the current version.
You can use CLSIDFromProgID and ProgIDFromCLSID to convert between these two representations.
