BrewManNH Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 You have the variables $Silverlight and $Version in quotes in the StringInString for $CompVerLocate, remove the quotes from it and it will return a number showing where in the string that it found the $Version number. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
