Netscape & Realplayer detection

[caselab]

Hi,
I was wondering how I can get Autoplay to detect both Netscape and Realplayer on the end-user's machine-and to install them if they are not...any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Netscape & Realplayer detection

One way to accomplish this is to look for registry keys. Then conditionally show a button that would run the setup.

Here are some keys to look for:

Real Media:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\R ealPlay.exe

Netscape:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Netscape

I'm sure that there are other keys to look for, Anyone else???
