VBS or Bat - Determine OS and Office Version

19,611

Solution 1

Although the the Office part is kind of slow, it does work.

Just include this inside a file with a name like getversions.vbs

On my computer, it printed:

Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise

Microsoft Office 32-bit Components 2013, Version15

    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
        & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

    Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
        ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

    For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
        Wscript.Echo objOperatingSystem.Caption
    Next

    Set colSoft = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product WHERE Name Like 'Microsoft Office%'")

    If colSoft.Count = 0 Then
      wscript.echo "NO OFFFICE INSTALLED" 
    else
       For Each objItem In colSoft
          Wscript.echo objitem.caption & ", Version" & Left(objItem.Version, InStr(1,objItem.Version,".")-1)
          exit for
       Next
    End If

Solution 2

Save this (VB Script) file as GetVersions.vbs. It works Regards, Shaun

Option Explicit ' Enforce variable declaration
    ' Declare objects
Dim oShell
Dim sOSVersion
Dim lOfficeVersion

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

On Error Resume Next
sOSVersion = oShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName")' Read the registry for the operating system version

lOfficeVersion = GetOfficeVersionNumber() ' Read the office version from the function

MsgBox "sOSVersion = " & sOSVersion & vbCrLf & "lOfficeVersion = " & lOfficeVersion

    Function GetOfficeVersionNumber()
        GetOfficeVersionNumber = ""  ' or you could use "Office not installed"
        Dim sTempValue
                    ' Read the Classes Root registry hive (it is a memory-only instance amalgamation of HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes registry keys) as it contains a source of information for the currently active Microsoft Office Excel application major version - it's quicker and easier to read the registry than the file version information after a location lookup). The trailing backslash on the line denotes that the @ or default registry key value is being queried.
        sTempValue = oShell.RegRead("HKCR\Excel.Application\CurVer\")
        If Len(sTempValue) > 2 Then GetOfficeVersionNumber = Replace(Right(sTempValue, 2), ".", "") ' Check the length of the value found and if greater than 2 digits then read the last two digits for the major Office version value
    End Function    ' GetOfficeVersionNumber

    Does anyone have a script that can determine the Windows OS and Office Version in the same script.

    I have bits and pieces of the script but I can't seem to figure out how to incorporate both OS and Office Version in the script. I started out in bat now I moved on to VBS as it seems to be able to provide more details however, if someone could just help out with logic in below I might be able to move forward.

    I would like to know how I can setup a script like this.

    If Windows 7 64bit & Office 2010
        do this
    If Windows XP 32bit & Office 2007
        do this  
    If Windows 7 & Office 2007
        do this
    

    CODE FOR Detecting Windows Version -- BAT SCRIPT

    Echo Please wait.... detecting Windows OS version...
    ver | find "2003" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto done
    
    ver | find "XP" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_xp
    
    ver | find "2000" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto done
    
    ver | find "NT" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto done
    
    if not exist %SystemRoot%\system32\systeminfo.exe goto warnthenexit
    
    systeminfo | find "OS Name" > %TEMP%\osname.txt
    FOR /F "usebackq delims=: tokens=2" %%i IN (%TEMP%\osname.txt) DO set vers=%%i
    
    echo %vers% | find "Windows 7" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_7
    
    echo %vers% | find "Windows Server 2008" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto done
    
    echo %vers% | find "Windows Vista" > nul
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_7
    
    goto warnthenexit
