How do I detect which version of Internet Explorer is installed?

Question

Is the best way to look under the Uninstall key of the Windows Registry? Is there a Microsoft API call which provides this info and is it supported from XP onwards?

Answer 1

You can also know the IE version on multiple computers using this script:

@Echo off

Cls

MD C:\SYSADMIT > NUL 

Echo. > c:\SYSADMIT\Resultados.txt

SET ListaEquipos=C:\SYSADMIT\ListaEquipos.txt

For /F "Tokens=*" %%z In (%ListaEquipos%) Do (

echo %%z  >> c:\SYSADMIT\Resultados.txt 

reg query "\\%%z\hklm\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v svcVersion >> c:\SYSADMIT\Resultados.txt

)

Inside the file: ListaEquipos.txt, there is a list of computers.

It is also necessary to check RemoteRegistry service enabled on the target computers.
