How i know which Version i have?

If your LOADER7.exe have a blue icon then you have Version 1.3.0.0 to verify it you can go to Properties > Details and then File & Product Version will show 1.3.0.0 and it also shows the Original Filename Dev7VM.exe
If you have for your LOADER7.exe a normal empty icon you have Version 1.0.0.0 / 1.1.0.0 or 1.2.0.0 to verify it you can go to Properties > Details and then File & Product Version will show 1.0.0.0 / 1.1.0.0 or 1.2.0.0

Dev7 uses a newer Version for the STK Files (V2.0 & V2.1)
