Hello, All!
I've got a following problem:
in my installation program I need to check if the version of installed
Internet Explorer is 3.02 or higher. I have looked up registry and
discovered that some IE versions (for example, 3.0) don't have
"Version"
key. However, all of them have "Build" key. Does anybody know if I can
rely on this key? Is it possible such situation that different
instances
of IE have same version but different builds?
If anybody knows another one method to find out IE version, I would be
very thankful if you let me know.

You determine the IE version by looking at the version of the file shdocvw.dll. I couldn't actually find the article on the Microsoft site, but this link may help you get started.
