Checking IE version without having web plug-in using JScript

Hi Team ,

 

We have Desktop module license of testcomplete. When i try to check the IE version using

 Log.Message("Internet Explorer version: " + Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Version.MajorPart); it gives me error "unable to use the browsers object. The Web Testing plug-in that implements the object code is not installed' . 

 

Now how do i check the version of IE for my desktop testing using JScript ?

Tried to use Windows.navigator... but its now recognizing navigator

    Hi,

     

    You may consider to use the GetFileVersion method of the Scripting.FileSystemObject object (provided by OS VBScript/JScript).

    Try using Object Browser to see how you can access Internet Explorer.  You may be able to access the versions info through the Process object:

     

    Sys.Process("iexplore").FileVersionInfo.MajorPart
