Question:

Loading an "Inventory" type program on networked PC's - everything from Win95 to XP - including 4.0 & 2000 servers. Runs perfect except for those that don't have dial up installed - recieving a RAS error. How do I check to see if dial up is installed before I load the extender?

Answer:

One good indication that RAS is installed is the existance of the file: RASAPI32.DLL.
You could try the following:

if !FileExist(StrCat(DirWindows(1),"RASAPI32.dll"))
   Message("Ras Checker","Ras not installed")
   exit
endif
