Hi All,
Is it possible to detect if a client software is installed on a
machine using browser javascript.
we are building a web/windows software and when the user logs into
the web application, we want to detect if our software is installed on
the client machine and if so we want to provide more access, or else
we want to give the user a limited access to the web site
Thanks in Advance

Have your software modify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet
Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
and add a "String" value that uniquely identifies your application. It
will then be sent as part of the HTTP_USER_AGENT sent with each request
from IE (assuming the user is using IE and that they haven't tinkered with
values themselves). You only need give the "Name" of the key/value pair
the information you want to display, the "Data" portion is ignored.
