Is there a javascript or vbscript to detect the installation and version of Reader on a users machine? I have located a couple of scripts that worked on both IE and Mac for versions 8 and below. I installed Reader v9 and I can still detect that it is installed on Windows with IE but not in Firefox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
