Hi All,

Which command would one use to check the version on Internet Explorer? The registry entry for it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ with Version being a String Value.

Cheers

Have a look at ReadVlaue() in the manual.

 Originally Posted By: 4.60 manual

READVALUE
Action
Reads a registry value and returns it as an ASCII string.

Syntax
READVALUE ("subkey", "entry")
Parameters
Subkey
Identifies the subkey containing the entry.
Entry
Identifies the entry whose value you want to discover. To read the default entry of a key, specify an empty string as the entry name ("").
Returns
ASCII representation of the specified registry value.

REG_MULTI_SZ (multi-string) variables are returned with the pipe symbol ( | ) used as the separator between strings. If a string contains a pipe symbol character, it is represented by two pipe symbol characters ( || ).

REG_DWORD variables are returned in decimal format.

Example
$Rows = ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\Configuration", "WindowRows")
If @ERROR = 0
? "Number of window-rows: $Rows"
Endif

Also, Doc has a Support desk script that does this too. While it maybe more than what you are looking for, it does cover version of IE, Office, etc.

Thanks,

Kent
