Driver version

Question

 I have enumerated some devices using winRT device enumeration APIs. I want to get the driver version of drivers installed in these devices.

var devices = new List<DeviceInfo>();
            var propertiesToRetrieve = new List<string>();
            propertiesToRetrieve.Add("System.Devices.FriendlyName");
            propertiesToRetrieve.Add("System.ItemNameDisplay");
            propertiesToRetrieve.Add("System.Devices.ModelName");
            propertiesToRetrieve.Add("System.Devices.Connected");
            propertiesToRetrieve.Add("System.Devices.Manufacturer");
            
            var pnpObjectCollection = await PnpObject.FindAllAsync(PnpObjectType.Device, propertiesToRetrieve);
            foreach (PnpObject pnpObject in pnpObjectCollection)
            {
            }

I am able to get the values of these properties. But how can I get the driver version of these devices? Which PnpObject type should I enumerate for that? Or how can I get to the driver level from this enumeration?

Also , the value 0xa8b865dd, 0x2e3d, 0x4094, 0xad, 0x97, 0xe5, 0x93, 0xa7, 0xc, 0x75, 0xd6, 3 is used to get driver version. I found in a link that the corresponding GUID-PID format of this string is "{a8b865dd2e3d4094ad97e593a7c75d6}, 3". But this does not seem to be in 8 4 4 4 12 format? Is this correct? If some one can point out some code samples of getting Driver Version it would be really helpful..

You might get better responses in the hardware forum.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
