Installed application versions 3

[cobas]

I am writing a VB app that requires IIS version 5 or greater installed.

Does anyone know how to code a test for this?

Many thanks

Have a look at

http://www.computing.net/dos/wwwboard/forum/14346.html

shows you how to do it with batch files. It might provide some info on which API or registry key informs you what is actually installed.
Does it matter if the IIS service is running, i.e. are you just checking to see if its installed or do you need it installed and the service started?

I followed the link you suggested. It's just what I'm looking for. Thanks very much for your post

And here's a way of seeing the version of any running webserver you have access to. You will need a form with an a textbox and a command button:
[tt]
Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox GetWebServer(Text1.Text)
End Sub

Private Function GetWebServer(strURL As String) As String
Dim results() As String

On Error GoTo NoServer
With CreateObject("InetCtls.Inet&quot
.OpenURL strURL
results = Split(.GetHeader(), "Server: &quot
GetWebServer = Split(results(1), vbCrLf)(0)
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Function
NoServer:
' Only doing very simple error trap
GetWebServer = "Server not found"
on Error Goto 0
End Function
