Can't find it under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Normally XP machines have application info here.

Thanks ideato! The firefox 5 install on our test machine didn't write that registry key for some reason (and the browser was installed and functioning). After reverting the vm to a clean slate and reinstalling firefox 5, that key shows up now.

Also, for use in a script, I think HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion may be the best place to look for the version because CurrentVersion contains the version number and a script needs a constant path.

Thanks Again!
