Does anyone have a script or can tell me the commands to search the local hard drive for the version of Java. Then output the results to a file that is named after the computer that is scanned.

Sorry my vb skills are limited.

Thanks

Found this script for checking the version of Java. It works and prints the version to the screen.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set envProcess = objShell.Environment("process")
windir = envProcess.Item("windir")
rtnVersion = objFSO.GetFileVersion(windir & "\system32\java.exe")
Set objFSO = Nothing
WScript.Echo "Java Version: " & rtnVersion

But now I want to output the results to a text file and base the file name on the name of the computer. So I added to the end:

> c:\&COMPUTERNAME&.txt

but all I get is "expected statement at 7, 48". Tried it with % but still doesnt work any help would be great.

Thanks
Lee

Status: offline 		Java can reside many places. "System32", "program files\java", "program files\javasoft", or any other directory if it was installed with an application. It really depends what you are looking for as to what is going to work.
If I type Java -version at the command line, I get 1.5.0, but the Plug-in that is installed in the browser is 1.4.2_12. You can have simultaneous installs to do different things.

My Plugin resides C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\bin\npjpi142_12.dll
The default Java version resides in both "c:\windows\system32" as well as "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0\bin" which also contains plug-ins for the browser, but 1.4.2 was installed after to override 1.5.0 settings, since 1.5.0 and after installs rewrite every other versions registry entries to point to itself.

This one should be fun.
