      Name of the app:
      Folding@home

      Developer:
      Stanford University

      Website:
      https://foldingathome.org/

      Download Site:
      https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/

      Version number displayed in the app:
      7.5.1

      App-Icon (in ICO format)

      Folding@home_Icon_128x128.ico

      Notes:

      • This is a scientific tool that simulates folding of proteins (to find cure fir many diseases (like cancer).
        The project is distributing the heavy calculation workload to the community (so users like me help researching).
      • The application has no version information stored (see below)
      • The icon is available in 128 x 128 pixel,

      The application has no version information stored in the EXE file.
      The desktop icon is executing the following command:

      "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\HideConsole.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --open-web-control

        Folding@home was updated to 7.6.9.
        And again, there is no version number in the EXE file.

        But in the Windows 10 Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features the correct version info is shown:

        5d9e5aff-2634-4fe5-87e0-ff01d09984a3-image.png

        So I searched the Registry and found this key:

        Path:  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\FAHClient
        Key:   DisplayVersion
        Value: 7.6.9
        

        So now you are able to get the version information for Folding@home.

          @Tom In my original posting I uploaded the app-icon in ICO-format.
          So here is the app-icon in PNG-format:

            Folding@home was updated to 7.6.13

            881afa0c-b7fb-4de2-9664-ba55f589492c-image.png

            And again, there is no version number in the EXE file.

            But in the registry the version number can be found:

            Path:  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\FAHClient
            Key:   DisplayVersion
            Value: 7.6.13

              Folding@home is detected internally but there is no version number shown.

                I am closing this issue, because Folding@home is added.
                For the version number I will create a new topic.
