    How to detect browsers installed on clients machine

    Hi,

    We are trying to detect majorly what browsers are installed on clients machine the moment they open our website. This info is needed as we are having issues with certain ie versions and need to redirect clients to open the same websites in another browser and show him only that options of browsers which are already installed on his computer...

    You will not be able to do this from the server. And you won't be able to do this in javascript. This would be a security risk if the Web server or javascript could find out what's installed on said pc.

    That being said.. you can check and see what browser they are currently using via this how to: How to: Detect Browser Types in ASP.NET Web Pages

    If you really need this to happen you can write an activex control or vb script but the site would have to be put on a trusted list
