#8008 - 2001-04-06 08:40 PM Netscape Communicator Custom Install
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I have written this script to install Netscape Communicator. It works fine if Communicator is installed, script ends, or it is not installed, script executesd and installs Communicator. But, how could I check to see if a previous version is installed and to upgrade it to version 4.75. Say a user has version 3 installed and I want them to be upgraded to version 4.75. How do I check this in the script without it ending? IF EXIST ("C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe") = 0 ? "Installing Netscape Communicator v4.57" SHELL "c:\install\setup.exe /S/SMS" $NETSCAPE = @ERROR IF $NETSCAPE <> 0 ? "WARNING: There was an error installing Netscape v4.57" ENDIF ELSE $NETSCAPE = 0 ENDIF

cmarti cmarti Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-02-26 Posts: 297 Loc: Little Rock, AR	I have 4.72 installed on my nt machine and my registry entry for it looks like this: $NETSCAPE472 = EXISTKEY("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR\4.72 (EN)"). So if they haven't changed their registry entry you should be able to use: $NETSCAPE475 = EXISTKEY("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR\4.75 (EN)") If exist <> 0 'Install new version of netscape' Else Endif

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks for the info. One question. I uninstalled Netscape Communicator 4.75 from my NT machine, rebooted and when I looked at the registry, it still had an antry for netscape that looks like this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPENAVIGATOR\4.75 (en). So when I write my script to check to see if Netscape is not installed, will it look at this an interpret it that it is installed, even though I went through the un-installation procedure and re-booted? Thanks!!!
