Internet Explorer Version

[sburday]

Is there a way to use the macros to determine the version of IE that a user is running? I've got a situation where we will be moving from IE6 to IE8 in a phased deployment and the macros will need to work differently depending on the IE version the user has installed.

Use the macro command Read Registry Value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version" into %IE_Version% to read the version from the registry. Microsoft documentation here: Information about Internet Explorer versions.

 

This sample macro displays the version number of Internet Explorer:

Read Registry Value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version" into %IE_VersionStr%
Split String "%IE_VersionStr%" on "." into %IE_Version%, starting at 1
Text Box Display: IE Version

 

To run this sample macro copy the following and paste it into a macro:

<READ REGISTRY VALUE Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Version" Destination="%IE_VersionStr%"/>
<SPLIT STRING Source="%IE_VersionStr%" SplitChar="." Dest="%IE_Version%" Index="1"/>
<TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="IE Version" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Tahoma;}{\\f1\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs16 Full version string: \\f1 %IE_Version\\f0 Str\\f1 %\r\n\\par \r\n\\par \\f0 Major:      %IE_Version[1]%\r\n\\par Minor:       %IE_Version[2]%\r\n\\par Build:        %IE_Version[3]%\r\n\\par Sub-build: %IE_Version[4]%\\f1 \r\n\\par }\r\n" Left="Center" Top="Center" Width="313" Height="181" Monitor="0" OnTop="FALSE" Keep_Focus="TRUE" Mode="\x00" Delay="0"/>
