How to check for the officer version installed with javascript

V

Vincent

Dear all,

I would like to know how to check for the MS Access version that is
installed on someones computer via a webpage. I thought vbscript
would work, but because I cannot figure out how to run vbscript on the
clients machine I cannot work. Basically it could have a button or an
even or somekind then when this event executes the test says you have
this verison os MS Acess installed you computer: 97, 200, 2002, or
2003.

You can do this my looking into the registry or any other method you
like.

email me if you want to vbscript code.

Thanks a bunch,

Vince

Try a google search on parasite.js. It invokes some ActiveX control
to look into the registry.

Here is a link to the parasite.js file. It seems to be written in
some host language to be downloaded to the client.

See the following writeup for a discription.

I would not enable IE to run ActiveX controls. You are asking for
trouble in my opinion.

There seems to be a debate in the following thread whether letting
parasite.js run on your machine opens you up to a bunch os spyware.

Are there any tools that I can use to just convert my vbscript to
javascript. I have heard of javafy that is part of the IIS Resource Kit
from Microsoft. But for some reason I cannot find a downloadable
version of the program.
Please advise

and again thank you

Is there anywhere where I can just download the tool, which I think is
named Javafy. I see the Resource Kit, but honestly I dont need all of
that?

Many thanks

Probably there are unauthorized illegal resources on the Net.

Why should especially M$ give away a tool for free if they can
make money with it?
