Question

I am having trouble trying to get my VBscript to read the version number of each of the Firefox plugins. These plugins are locatated at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins. Each are in a seperate folder and each contain a key Version with the value that I am looking for (Screenshot to make it clearer). I understand that i need to use wmi but I think ill need a loop to go through each folder. I was using this link to help me but I keep getting lost.

Any help or further information on this would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this question is poorly asked, I have very limited VBscripting skills. If so, leave a comment and Ill try and provide more information.

Next time please publish what you have allready got, as little as it is.
Here a script i just made

on error resume next
dim aKeys, version
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
set oShell    = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set objreg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "Software\MozillaPlugins"
'read subkeys in array aKeys
objreg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, aKeys
for each subkey In aKeys
  'read from version key if available
  version = oShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" & strKeyPath & "\" & subkey & "\version")
  if version = "" then
    'perhaps version info in keyname itself ?
    version = split(split(subkey,"version=")(1),",")(0)
  end if
  if version = "" then
    version = "no version info available"
  end if
  wscript.echo split(subkey,",")(0) & ": " & version
  version = ""
next

gives on my system
