Hi,

I'm looking for at way to tell what version of Internet Explorer is installed on a Windows computer.

I only need to know wether IE 5.5 SP2 is installed or not.

The user will have administrative rights.

The Internet Explorers might be anything between version 2.0 and 5.5 SP2 and some hotfixes.

Here's a link to a similar article.

It shows you where you can get the version number for IE.

Hope this helps...

use readvalue() in the registry to find the file location (where IE is installed)

then use getfileversion() to get the version of iexplore.exe

$ieversion = " NOT INSTALLED! "

If Exist ("C:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe") = 1

$ieversion = GetFileVersion ("C:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe","ProductVersion")
$x = SubStr($ieversion, 1, 1)

If $x <> "6"
If Open( 2 ,$loginLogsPath+"ie_version.txt" , 5 ) = 0
$dummy = WriteLine( 2 , @WKSTA + " | "+ $ieversion + " | " + @DATE + " " + @TIME + @CRLF )
$close2 = Close(2)
Else
SendMessage("scwh-it-006","error in ie version log file failed to open file, error code : [" + @ERROR + "]")

zero_cool_22: Please post scripts in between [code] tags. Also, this script will work only in a very specific environment and contains assumptions that not not be true on all systems. The recommended way is this UDF: IeVer() - Get version and language of installed Internet Explorer
