Hi,

I'm installing IE 6 via a batch script. From the command line, how can I
determine which version of IE is installed so that I don't install ver. 6 if
it, or a newer version, is already there?
Also, can I do the exact same thing but with Quicktime 7?

Thanks!

This group is <microsoft.public.mac.explorer>.  There have been so many
posts here concerning Internet Explorer 7 for Windows that I wonder if this
group is mislabeled on the Microsoft web site somewhere.  Can you copy &
paste here the URL you are using to access this group?  Or provide
step-by-step instructions on how you access this group?

They're Windows people, so they're handicapped from the start.

Yes, Mickey, it's mislabeled. But serves 'em right for letting Mac folks into
a PC realm in the first place, right Randy?

Mac is much better for the people with Accessibility issues. Mac's much
more advanced in supporting handicapped people needs.

And Windows is much better at collecting viruses and spyware using an
ugly, unintuitive interface.

Right, but nobody would pull Mac to the corporate world, where real
growth is and where the popularity would come from. Apple should do it
themselves and it seems like they have no plans. But I'm sure after some
10 years there would be much much more businesses on Macs.

Hey! That's funny...I've never heard that one before.

But you're still the tard for posting PC questions in a Macintosh
newsgroup.
Slapnads - 12 Nov 2006 17:32 GMT

about it or here is an idea....Don't post anything.

Here's an idea...read the name of the group before you post.

Hello

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.
public.mac.explorer&mid=398f722e-f7a1-4c18-9ae8-1ddbd17547c1


If you go on this link, it clearly states in the "Tree layout" on the left
that it's a section for "Macintosh Software".

If you're using Outlook Express, it's also labelled as
microsoft.public.mac.explorer

Also if you read the other posts, (excluding the mistakes also made by
people putting IE7 problems in here) you'll notice, they're mac based. :-)
