I think i remember hearing that the object model was completely different for 7, the best way to check would probably be through the registry.

What should I check in the reg? I'm not that good with playing with the reg

What's the registry key value of IE?

If you use IE.au3 and have a browser object reference $oIE

$oIE.document.parentwindow.top.navigator.appVersion ()

Although it may not return what you expect... IE7 on my system gives:

4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Tablet PC 1.7; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)

If this test give the same result for every computer using IE v7 then it might work. If not, I will have to find another solution.

I use this format :

If ;IE explorer V7
    Else
        MsgBox(0,"Error","IE Version")
        Sleep(50)
        If FileExists(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini") Then
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "First", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Second", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Third", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Fourth", "")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Fifth", "0")
        EndIf
        Exit
    EndIf

There's no reg key that store the IE version?

i'm just about positive that there is, but i don't have 7 here at work to locate it for you. you should be able to find it on MSDN, or with a look through your registry. someone mentioned using an app earlier to monitor the registry in the thread about ms office file locations, the same program may help you if you're not comfortable treading around in there manually

Should I look in the Internet explorer folder? because there's no registry key in there.

[Gollum]

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version = "7.0.5730.11"

or

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector\IE = "7.0000"

on my machine XPSP2.

Thanks !

;IE V7
        
        $IE = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector","IE")
        
        If $IE = "7.0000" Then
        Else    
        MsgBox(0,"Internet Version Error ","Internet Explorer v.7 is required")
            Sleep(50)
        If FileExists(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini") Then
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "First", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Second", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Third", "0")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Fourth", "")
            IniWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Config.ini", "Settings", "Fifth", "0")
        EndIf
        Exit
    EndIf

Quick question: How did you find those registry path?
