I.E installation

[cyklop0]

I'm trying to push out I.E 6.0 SP1 for my company. I want to know if there is any type of software out there that can run and check for the version of I.E on there computer. If they have the lastest one then skip go to the next. IF they don't then automatic install.

There are many.

MS SMS or Update expert from St Bernard software come to mind. You could also just look at the date/time stamp on the iexplore.exe file.

If you are using Windows 2000 and have the Resource Kit installed, there is a Perl script in it called fileversion.pl that will give you the version number of a file (you will need to copy Wmi.pm from the resource kit directory to %perlroot%\site\lib\W2RK for it to work properly). You may be able to adapt this to give you what you need.

You should be able to write a script pretty easily to get the version out of the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

There are several values you can use under this key to help you determine the current registered version.
