Open your installation media there should be a Readme html file that will give you that information. for R1, R2, R3 etc.

and for CU version you can check the updates folder in the same directory.

RE: AX2012 how to find out the Version from setup file without installing

\Msi\ObjectServer64\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\AppInst\Bin\Ax32serv.exe is your AOS executable, the properties of that will tell you the base version of the install kit, which you could compare against the kernel release versions for example:

blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../overview-of-microsoft-dynamics-ax-build-numbers

That is not yet your final version number, since in the Updates folder you could have major release patches, cumulative updates, or specific kernel hotfixes, which will be applied on top of the base installer version. For that you might want to look up the specific KB numbers on the LifeCycle Services websites' Issue search.
