Solution:

Find the parent setup.exe included with your distribution.
Right-click on setup.exe, and select Properties.
Select the Version tab. The version is listed next to the File version:
To determine the type of installer, select the Item name called Internal Name.

There are two types of NI Software Installers:

NI MetaSuite Installer:
These are installers for software suites that contain multiple NI software installers into one. For example, the LabVIEW Platform DVD.
MetaInstaller:
These are single product installers or our freely distributed drivers. For Example, both the LabVIEW CD and the NI Device Drivers CDs are type MetaInstaller.
