Nope the equal sign was a fat finger. All my code is on a closed network system so I have to hand jam it all.

Something like this?

For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%I In ('REG Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0000C40F-A401-4C9C-AF3E-0382E92E1E22} /v DisplayVersion') If %%J=="4.21.4.004" echo Program A version %%J is installed.
If %%J=="4.11.4.022" echo Program B ver %%J is installed.

Or do I have the If statements wrong?

Sorry if this seems like I am new to this. I am relearning it all after being away for so long.

So the Program Name is different depending on the Version?
Is the DisplayName value in the registry for both versions the same? If not, just use that value instead of the If statements.

The If statements should be set up like this:

For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%I In ('REG Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0000C40F-A401-4C9C-AF3E-0382E92E1E22} /v DisplayVersion') Do (
If %%J=="4.21.4.004" Echo Program A version %%J is installed.
If %%J=="4.11.4.022" Echo Program B ver %%J is installed.
)

Yes the DisplayName is exactly the same in Both that is why I have to go by the DisplayVersion.

It works. Thank you very much.

Is there a way to write the If statement so that instead of looking for the full version number I can use 4.11 and a wildcard to say anything after this is not needed? or do I need to use the full versions?

If %%J=="4.11.4.022" Echo Program B ver %%J is installed.

If %%J=="4.11*" Echo Program B ver %%J is installed?




I should be able to use this in a couple other locations with other programs but I can use the DisplayName to distinguish those..

[TheOutcaste]

For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%I In ('REG Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0000C40F-A401-4C9C-AF3E-0382E92E1E22} /v DisplayVersion') Do Set _Version=%%J
If "%_Version:~0,4%"=="4.21" Echo Program A version %_Version% is installed.
If "%_Version:~0,4%"=="4.11" Echo Program B version %_Version% is installed.
)

That should do it. If you don't want to display the full version, use the same clause in the Echo Statement: "%_Version:~1,4%" instead of %_Version%
And to display just the first three digits

For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%I In ('REG Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0000C40F-A401-4C9C-AF3E-0382E92E1E22} /v DisplayVersion') Do Set _Version=%%J
If "%_Version:~0,4%"=="4.21" Echo Program A version %_Version:~0,4% is installed.
If "%_Version:~0,4%"=="4.11" Echo Program B version %_Version:~0,4% is installed.
)

Or just hard code in the 4.11 or 4.22 in the Echo statement portion

Ok so while no errors popped up

Nothing now shows thru the echos...

[TheOutcaste]

Opps, was thinking the quotes were part of the data. Quotes are always tripping me up. Should be "%_Version:~0,4%"
I'll edit the post

Never hurts to keep re-posting your code. If you fat fingered it once, you could have done it again.

Zero really is a number!
I thought you dreamed in binary!

[Squashman]

I will have to say that this thread has brought out a lot of good batch coding examples for Raven.

Just one more point and Jerry usually makes this comment as well. When you don't see your intended output and you have echo turned off, that is usually a good time to turn echo back on at the top of your script and watch it step thru your code. You probably would have instantly seen that your version number was truncated at the beginning.

[raven6988]

Thank you for all the help.

I see the truncated value now that you mentioned it.

Thank you both. As you said, There is alot of good coding references I will be using in the future.

Thank you both.

I will be back with more questions as I have them. Especially since this is the only place I have been able to find that actually is able to answer my questions.

[Squashman]

Batch is a lost art form!

[raven6988]

Yes it is.... and trying to relearn is even harder since most of the information out there is either generalizations or over-written.

What happened to the examples of real lines of batch codes and explanations of what each did??
