That won't help, since the Installer needs to know, not the webapp. What is it about 4.1.24 that makes it required? A bug fix? The presence of certain jar file versions ? I'm just trying to think of a way that maybe with the entry for CATALINA_HOME (from the registry) plus file name checking, you might be able to 'fake it'. Having said that, the easiest (and surest) way would be to let the thing install, and have your application coded to check the version like Yoav suggests. JIRA for example (www.atlassian.com) when it starts up will check what container its running in, and if it detects "tomcat" then it shuts off transactions. I'm sure the run-time checking scheme is probably used quite a bit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
