From: Tcs on 8 Feb 2009 17:42 Thanks guys. I thought that I had checked...sufficiently. Obviously, I was wrong. Seems that the string contains two spaces on the end, following the '22'. Script works properly now. I appreciate the help.

Obviously, I was wrong. > Seems that the string contains two spaces on the end, following the > '22'. Ah, the old "invisible" trailing whitespace - kills you every time. It is always a problem that you will not see this when you display a string variable - unless you bracket it somehow, as in "[" & variable & "]". The "=" and "<>" comparison operators do not include an implicit "close enough is close enough", and generally look for an exact match. > Script works properly now. I appreciate the help. Like most scripts, it always worked - it was just doing something you did not intend! ;-) /Al > Tom > > On Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:23:05 +0100, "ekkehard.horner" > <ekkehard.horner(a)arcor.de> wrote: > >>Tcs schrieb: >>> I only want the setup.exe to run if the version of the LDISCN32.EXE >>> file <> "8.70.8.22".
