detect installed programs

[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 ? Thanks.

I knw that if you use Object tag as this example:
<object .....>
You cant see the object!
</object

if the object exists on the machine it will be loaded and displayed, if not the &quot;You cant see object!&quot; text should apear.

I think same will work with the <applet ....>You cant see applet!</applet> ________
