TC/TE VBScript Runtime Version information

Any info on the following scenario would be appreciated.



We need our VBScript libraries to be able to know and route according to the version of TestComplete or TestExecute running.  Are there VBScript APIs that can provide that information?



For example, in certain libraries we will need to branch based on:



Is it TestComplete that is running?  Or is it TestExecute?

Is it version 9.3?  Or is it version 10?



Is it possible to get this information through an existing API or COM interface at runtime?



Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Carl,



    What about this code snippet (untested, off top of my head):

    Set p = Sys.WaitProcess("TestComplete", 500)

    If (p.Exists) Then _

      Call Log.Message("TC detected")



    Set p = Sys.WaitProcess("TestExecute", 500)

    If (p.Exists) Then _

      Call Log.Message("TE detected")



    If (Not p.Exists) Then _

      Call Log.Warning("Neither TC nor TE was detected")



    iVerMajor = aqConvert.VarToInt(p.FileVersionInfo.MajorPart)

    Call Log.Message(aqString.Format("Major version # is: %i", iVerMajor))

    With locally necessary changes, your "off the top of my head" code worked for me:



    Dim p, iVerMajor, iVerMinor    

        Set p = Sys.WaitProcess("TestComplete", 500)

        If (p.Exists) Then

            SAFSDEBUG "TCAFS sees TestComplete running!", DEBUG_INFO

        else

            Set p = Sys.WaitProcess("TestExecute", 500)

            If (p.Exists) Then _

                SAFSDEBUG "TCAFS sees TestExecute running!", DEBUG_INFO

        end if

        if (p.Exists) then

            iVerMajor = aqConvert.VarToInt(p.FileVersionInfo.MajorPart)

            iVerMinor = aqConvert.VarToInt(p.FileVersionInfo.MinorPart)

            SAFSDEBUG "TCAFS sees "& aqString.Format("Version # is: %i.%i", iVerMajor, iVerMinor), DEBUG_INFO

        end if



    Thank you VERY much for your time!



    I had started down the COM route, but now I don't have to.
