VersionIE

The installer sets this variable to the version number Internet Explorer on the target system. The Internet Explorer version number is encoded as 1000 * major + 10 * minor + SP, as follows:

Internet Explorer VersionIE
Not present 0
3.0 3000
3.01 3010
3.02 3020
4.0 4000
4.01 4010
4.01 SP1 4011
4.01 SP2 4012
5.0 5000
5.01 5010
5.01 SP1 5011
5.01 SP2 5012
5.01 SP3 5013
5.01 SP4 5014
5.50 5500
5.50 SP1 5501
5.50 SP2 5502
6.0 6000
6.0 SP1 6001
7.0 7000
8.0 8000
9.0 9000

Usage

You can refer to it as <VersionIE>. In conditional expressions you can omit the brackets and use tests like VersionIE >= 5011 (to test for IE 5.01 SP1 or later) and VersionIE (to test for the presence of Internet Explorer). Do not set this variable directly; it is set automatically when the installer runs.
