Browser Detect

Hello there,
I need to detect is there any plugin based browser installed on a system, for example:
Mozilla Firefox
Netscape
Opera
any other...

So I can launch the macromedia plugin-based browser players setup (flash and shockwave).
I already know how to detect both shockwave and flash, but need to know about the browsers, any help on that please?

Thanks in advance,

Cërf.

But, if I am not wrong that will only detect the app to open the file with only... So if the user uses explorer as default but also has firefox or netscape, I won't be able to know, right?

ah..you want to detect all the browsers installed? 🧟

If so... then you must search in the registry for each one of them.

Firefox:
HKLM "Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox" "CurrentVersion"

IE:
HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" "Version"

That's all I have installed.
