This gives me what I see in the registry. (in this case version 7.0.2)


put queryregistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\apple Computer, Inc. 
\quicktime\version","text") into data
local t1,t2,t3,t4
get binaryDecode("H2H2H2H2",data,t1,t2,t3,t4)
put t4&t3&t2&t1

--> 07028000

I'm not sure if this is any help to sims. I assume digits 1-2 are the  
main version number, digit 3 is the subversion, and digit 4 is the  
sub-sub version. But this probably needs some more confirmation.

I also see there's a registry entry that give the location of QuickTime.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\apple Computer, Inc.\quicktime\InstallDir

Any use?

I know what you mean. I think the docs may need some revision. Every  
time I read about binaryDecode and binaryEncode my head hurts.  
Generally, it's trial and error.
