We were wondering if it is possible to detect the current network type during an InstallShield setup. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Don,
Somewhere, sometime ago, I (or Tracy?) posted a way to do just this (from B+). It involves parsing for "ZZZZZZZZ" in the LH.DLL file … the driver name follows.

Cameron,
This will be used for the initial setup of the OI application to determine which network driver needs to be implemented. Therefore LH.DLL won't already be installed to look at. We were hoping that InstallShield could detect what network is running so we can make the appropriate driver swap.
Thanks,

Don,
Can't you use GetSystemInfo( "NETWORK", … ) or GetSystemInfo( "NETWORK_DRV", … )? I have only limited experience with InstallShield, but at least I find these function calls in my InstallShield docs (I have InstallShield Professional).

Oystein,
Yes, I see that function. I'm not sure if it will be useful all the time since it depends on SYSTEM.INI, but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up.
