Please Help!
New to InstallShield so bare with me.
basically i need to check if certain applications (Acrobat, Word, IE) are installed before the installation process begins.

i am new to the code, and am learning on the fly so some example code would really be appreciated.

i guess it would be some kind of loop using the verGetFileVersion functions? in the onBegin() function??

please help
Thanks,

You can either look for files or for registry entries.
I believe there are samples for Acrobat and for IE here on InstallSite in the IS 5/6 samples section

Thanks, i have looked in the samples section and didnt come across anything. maybe i am looking in the wrong areas.

if anyone can possibly point me to the right samples that would be great.

thanks again for all your help
