Determine IE version installed


Question:

My company wants me to roll out this new IE6 rollup that is supposed to fix some major issues. I was going to put it in the login script. What's the best way to check IE versions? Just check the registry keys?

Answer:

Use the WinInet Extender:
AddExtender("WWINT34i.DLL")
ie_version = iGetIEVer() 
Or via the registry keys. Maybe see: http://techsupt.winbatch.com/webcgi/webbatch.exe?techsupt/nftechsupt.web+WinBatch/Installation~Licensing~Setup+IE4~Installation~Sample~Code.txt

Not sure if they've updated the article but you might see Q164539 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;164539 for more info on IE version numbers

Here's some registry keys I used to use

(@REGMachine, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer") ; if this key's not present neither is IE

(@REGMachine, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer[Version]"); this value only exists for IE 4 or greater

(@REGMachine, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer[Build]") ; this value exists for IE 2 & greater

(@REGMachine, "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer[Build]")>1154 ; get the value & compare to build # 1155 which is the build number for IE 3.0

(@REGMachine,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer[IVer]" )
