vbscript to verify application version
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 3 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi there,
I am looking how to run a vbscript from Deployment Console (6.9), which will check if version "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" is equal or less than 3.0.4, then run firefox.exe (3.0.10)
I was trying to test
"Function GetOfficeVersion(strComputer)
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMI.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT Version FROM Win32_Product WHERE Name Like ' ")"
but I could not go anywhere, because of my basic vbscript knowledge, if you have any sample I will appreciate if you could share it...thanks

If objFSO.GetFileVersion(FILE1) < version Then
WshShell.run(path to executable)
end if
file version
Thanks for the hints, much appreciated
I tried If Left(verNum,5)<3.0.5 then <path_to_executable>, but I got error , Line 7 char 22 expected Then, but I did not know how to fix it sorry
I tried If objFSO.GetFileVersion(FILE1) < version Then WshShell.run(path to executable). for this one I needed to add Set WshShell and it worked fine
thanks for your help....
