IF ELSE GOTO problems

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? The below script always installs IE6 and I only want it to install if the version number is not 6.0.2800.1106

Thanks

$regkey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\iexplore.exe"
$iexplore = READVALUE($regkey,"")
$iever = GETFILEVERSION($iexplore)

?$iever

IF $iever = "6.0.2800.1106"
GOTO END
ELSE
GOTO IEINST
ENDIF

:IEINST
; *IE6 Install*
? "** Processing.... Please Wait **"
RUN \\server\SYSVOL\home.com\scripts\ie6setup.bat

:END
exit

Re: IF ELSE GOTO problems

the string extract is correct ...

you may want to get rid of this goto stuff though by specifying a clear condition like

code:

if $iever = "6.0.2800.1106"
    quit 1
else
    ;do your install here 
endif

You miss of course the quotes around your RUN string, so I have to wonder why it installs anyway [Confused]

Re: IF ELSE GOTO problems

this should work as well :

code:

  
if $iever < "6.0.2800.1106"
    ;install it
endif
