Internet Explorer version and service pack


Recommended Posts

So i've been tasked with dertermining if the correct version of IE and applicable service packs have been installed on a huge group of machines. This is a custom version of IE, so I don't think that just using FileGetVersion ("iexplore.exe") will work. Our version of IE has an additional "CO" at the end of the version number, when you look at the Help-About window. (See the attached file) Also, I need to get the "update versions" line, and make sure SP1 is in the text. Unfortunately, the window is a "Internet Explorer_TridentDlgFrame" , and all the text is in an "Internet Explorer_Server" control. I tried using the IE UDF to do some checking on it, but the data on the window is not being recognized as an HTML Document, so the IE UDFs arent working. for example

If WinExists ( "About Internet Explorer" ) THen
    MsgBox ( 0 , "" , "It Exists" )
Else
    MsgBox ( 0 , "" , "It DONT Exists" )
EndIf   
$o_HelpWindow = _IEAttach ( "About Internet Explorer" )
MsgBox ( 0 , "@error" , @error )

Running this code when the about window is up Yields a MsgBox saying "It exists" then the msgbox @error = 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Search Under this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

The version info, including the customized version details are available in this hive. Thanks Joon. I never thought to look in the reg. That may be a way for me to check on the SP number as well!

This has been resolved.

I Used the following for checking the version number

$strIEVersion = RegRead ( "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" , "Version" )
if $strIEVersion = "" Then
    Select
        Case @Error = 1
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "unable to open requested key" )
        Case @Error = -1
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "Unable to open requested value" )
        Case @Error = -2
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "Value type not supported" )
        Case Else
            MsgBox ( 64 , "AutoIt Information" , "Version number is blank!" )
    EndSelect
EndIf

$strIECustomizedVersion = RegRead ( "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" , "CustomizedVersion" )
if $strIECustomizedVersion = "" Then
    Select
        Case @Error = 1
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "unable to open requested key" )
        Case @Error = -1
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "Unable to open requested value" )
        Case @Error = -2
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "Value type not supported" )
        Case Else
            MsgBox ( 64 , "AutoIt Information" , "Customized Version is blank!" )
    EndSelect
EndIf

MsgBox ( 0 , "IE Complete Version" , $strIEVersion & $strIECustomizedVersion )

and the following for checking for the service pack

$strIE60SP1 = RegRead ( "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "MinorVersion" )
if $strIE60SP1 = "" Then
    Select
        Case @Error = 1
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "unable to open requested key - True Error" )
        Case @Error = -1
            MsgBox ( 64 , "AutoIt Information" , "Unable to open requested value" )
        Case @Error = -2
            MsgBox ( 16 , "AutoIt Error" , "Value type not supported" )
        Case Else
            MsgBox ( 64 , "AutoIt Information" , "Minor Version is blank!" )
    EndSelect
EndIf
If StringInStr ( $strIE60SP1 , ";SP1;" ) Then
    MsgBox ( 0 , "Service Pack" , "Passed" ) 
Else
    MsgBox ( 16 , "Service Pack" , "Failed" ) 
EndIf
