Ive seen on other sites that use Image Uploader that they have a script that will check if the Uploader is already installed on the clients computer. If it is, then the script does nothing. If uploader is not installed, then the script displays some text and graphics that explains to the user about the IE information bar and how to install the uploader tool.

Does anybody have such a script available? Im running on a Linux server and most of my apps are written in PHP.

Thanks,
Jason

You can check whether ActiveX control already installed using of getActiveXInstalled method of ImageUploaderWriter object:

Code:
//Create JavaScript object that will embed Image Uploader to the page.
var iu = new ImageUploaderWriter("ImageUploader1", 650, 400);

iu.activeXControlCodeBase = "../ImageUploader5.cab";
iu.activeXControlVersion = "5,0,15,0";

if (!iu.getActiveXInstalled()) {
    //Put your code here for case when Image Uploader is not installed
    //alert("Image Uploader is not installed.");
}

//...

Hello Jason,

As an addition to Fedor post:

There is FullPageLoad event which is called right after Image Uploader initialization. You could show some specific text until Image Uploader is not initialized and on FullPageLoad event just hide this text. There is a text shown by ImageUploaderWriter before Image Uploader initialization by default. Look to the values instructionsCommon, instructionsWinXPSP2 and so on in iuembed.js script reference.

I just want to add that instructionsCommon and instructionsWinXPSP2 texts are displayed only if Image Uploader failed to install. During installation process they are not displayed.
