IE6 version

[Guest]

My IE show version "6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.040919-1003" from About Box. However,
I am unable to find any info. about where does the "xpsp2.040919-1003" come
from - not in registry and not in any files.

I need that because I am writing a program to collect all the IE versions
from a large amount of PCs. Can anybody help?

** I try to look at the version of file shdocvw.dll but the version is
different.

Brgds,

You can get that information from this registry string:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Joseph,

The 2nd part probably comes from:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
"BuildLab" REG_SZ
