Thanks for your reply. I am interested in detecting only Firefox and
IE versions installed. And I like to do so without the browesers
actually launched.

I have an hta script; so the code that I am looking for to do the
detection will be included in that hta script written in VBScript.
There must be a way to detect firefox as well, the script you
mentioned seems to support detection of several broswers but Firefox
which is what I need along with IE. any other thoughts? Thanks.
