Get Version of Internet Explorer


Question:

I've been looking for a way to capture the version of internet explorer. It's the "Reg_SZ" value for the reg setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version
I'm wanting to be able to grab this number and then write it a file for later review. Can anyone offer me any guidance on function to use? TIA, Mike H

Answer:

ver = RegQueryValue(@REGMACHINE,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer[Version]")
Message("IE Version",ver)
Here is a MS link with a description of what will be there and some caveats of whether to expect 0's or not http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;164539
