It's very easy to do this, so I threw together an example:
' regreaddemo.vbs
Option Explicit
Dim oShell
Dim strKey
Dim strCurrentVersion
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strKey = "HKLM\Software\Allaire\Spectra\CurrentVersion"
strCurrentVersion = oShell.RegRead(strKey & "\Version")
MsgBox "Spectra Version: " & strCurrentVersion
' end regreaddemo.vbs
To run this example, you'll need to have Spectra installed, and type
"cscript regreaddemo.vbs" at the command line.
You'd have to know the appropriate registry key and value, of course, and
you'd want to add code to actually get the update and install it as well,
probably. Some virus scanner applications provide this functionality
automatically, as well.
