Hi,

Can anyone recommend a reliable mechanism for the detection of WSE2 RTM
being installed on a PC?
For example, are there certain installed files and/or registry settings that
exclusively indicate WSE2?

I intend to implement the check in VBScript.

Further, how can we distinguish between an installation of WSE1, WSE2 (TP)
and WSE2 RTM?

Thanks,
Martin

You could check the GAC:

WSE 1.0 -> Microsoft.Web.Services 1.0.0.0

WSE 2.0 TP -> Microsoft.Web.Services 2.0.0.0

WSE 2.0 RTM -> Microsoft.Web.Services2 2.0.0.0

HTH,

Reading the Windows Installer product registry keys may be a simpler means
to detect whether WSE is installed.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hervey, could you confirm the correct Registry Key(s) to inspect to confirm
installation?

My best guess at the moment is (based on my experiments) is:

WSE2 RTM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{44FC
5F66-F5FA-4AD1-82EC-9E49A4F67209}

WSE1 SP1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{9431
A631-BFCC-488F-AD74-364A943D4529}

.NET Framework 1.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{CB2F
7EDD-9D1F-43C1-90FC-4F52EAE172A1}

If this is the correct area to inspect, which settings would indicate the
following products:

WSE2 Technology Preview (as distinct from WSE2 RTM)
WSE1 RTM (as distinct from WSE1 SP1)

Thanks,
Martin
