Hello Gurus, I need to add functionality to my install to check whether a COM dll is installed by another of our product, and if it's installed to check whether it has a newer file version or new creation time. I'm already using an VB installer class in my VS2005 install project as a custom action. So the two major issues I need your help is: (1) How do I check whether a specific COM object is registered? (2) How do I check the COM file version and creation time? ------- Thanks Sharon
You could always look it up in the windows registry?
