Question

I’m using C# as a programming platform.

Can anyone help me on how can I populate all existing browser in the client machine.
And I want also to validate first if the browser (firefox.exe) is existing in the client machine before calling the process of

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("firefox.exe", "http://stackoverflow.com");

Answer 1

You’ll need to inspect the Uninstall registry keys to determine if specific programs are available. Things to beware of:

1. Different versions of the same browser may populate different uninstall keys (not recommended but it happens)
2. I don’t believe internet explorer has a registry key in all situations but if you’re running on Windows you should be pretty safe here.
