Detecting Apache Jakarta Tomcat
I need to detect that. Have tried reasonably obvious things and am capable of carrying them out (e.g. finding parts of the Registry which contain a path to Tomcat).

However I would appreciate any tips you have, what's the best Registry key to look for etc.

Cheers

I don't have it installed, so I can't help. Did you use RegEdit's Search?

I clarified the question on another forum:

Hi I have to write an installer which detects the presence of Apache Tomcat (minimum version 4.0.6) and wondered what the best way of doing this was.

I'm happy to check for the presence of Registry entries, but searching the Net I'm unsure of where (on ANY Tomcat install, regardless of version) I can find a version number; my impression is that the keys shift position depending on the version of the Tomcat install.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Have you asked on Apache's forums?
