detect installed program

[conjurer111]

Hi,

I am using ASP to view crystal reports on the web. However I'm facing a problem. If the latest version of the Java Runtime isn't installed, the reports don't show properly. What I need is to check for this and if the latest version or for that matter, if the Java Runtime environment isn't there, provide the user with a link to install the same. How do I code this ? Is it possible through JavaScript.

When the viewer is not installed, a window automatically pops up asking whether I would like to install the Viewer. How does it check it and what does it do when I click the YES button, I am looking for a similar functionality.

Thanks.

ask that in the Java forum. I'm sure if you have an Applet on your page it can ask to download the proper JRE. Gary
