This is the story...

I'm working on a project that's using the WebBrowser ActiveX control.  I
wanted to create a "smart setup" (of some sort anyways) for this project.  I
have to figure out, firstly if there is some version of Internet Explorer on
the machine, and then figure out what version it is (I need version 4 and
up).  Does anybody know how I would go about to do this?  I tried snooping
in the registry, but didn't find anything that could help me out

Thanks.

Best Wishes,
  Bryce

Bryce,

Try the following code:

{ Component class GUIDs -- from the SHDocVW_TLB.pas file from the Imports
folder }
  Class_WebBrowser_V1: TGUID = '{EAB22AC3-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}';
  Class_WebBrowser: TGUID = '{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}';

function IsIE4Plus_Installed: Boolean;
var
  regi: TRegistry;
begin
  Result := False;
  regi := TRegistry.Create;
  try
    regi.RootKey := HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT;
    if not regi.OpenKey('CLSID\'+GUIDToString(Class_WebBrowser), False) then
    begin
      MessageDlg('This program requires installed Microsoft Internet
Explorer v4.0 or later.', mtError, [mbOK], 0);
      Exit;
    end;
    Result := True;
  finally
    regi.Free;
  end;
end;

I've used the WebBrowser component in my HTML-View program:
