Detect IE sp 1?

I recently deployed a webform for test on about 12 users machines. All had
IE 6.0. One
user received 'Server Error in 'TestApp' Application'. We discovered that
the user needed
IE sp1.

Is there any way to detect sp 1 ? I've checked all the Request.Browser
members, but
nothing returns that.

Thanks,

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, there are two common methods in
server-side script to determine information about the browser that is being
used by the client:

1. Request.Browser
2. Request.ServerVariables.Get("HTTP_USER_AGENT")

However, based on my experience and research, they are not able to tell IE6
SP1 from IE6. What's the detailed error message you received when it fails
in IE6 SP1? I believe that we should fix the problem in the web application
to let it work properly on IE6 and later versions.

I look forward to your response.

Have a nice day!

Huang,

The user received a generic 'Server Error in 'TestApp' Application'.
However, subsequently
we have tested the webform on a machine with IE 6.0 without SP1 and had no
problems.
Perhaps the first user had a bad installation of IE and the SP1 fixed it.

Thanks for your response...
