Specs: Windows XP
Here's a example of what i'm trying to do


Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists("C:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe") Then
    filever = objFSO.GetFileVersion("C:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe")

If file exists then

Compare file version to lists
if filever exists on VerList1 then echo List 1
if filever exists on VerList2 then echo List 2
if filever exists on VerList3 then echo List 3

Else

'If file does not exist then check registy entries

If registyentry1 exists then Echo Registry 1
If registyentry2 exists then Echo Registry 2
If registyentry3 exists then Echo Registry 3

VerList1
---------
5.1.2600.1106
5.1.2600.1142


VerList2
---------
5.1.2600.1217
5.1.2600.1312
5.1.2600.2096
5.1.2600.2149
5.1.2600.2180


I'm not sure how to do this

Note: I'm still learning vb scripts
