    Am trying to get the most current Java version installed on our machines through the WMI interface. If I only ask it for installed Java versions greater than ver 6.0, I get a list of all installed versions. I'd like to take the output and compare it to the next item in the collection to see which is higher, then compare that to the next line, and then give me the highest version as the final output. The script I've got so far is:

    strComputer = "."
JavaVer = 6
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set Collection = objWMIService.ExecQuery("select Name,Version from " _
  & "Win32_Product where name like '%Java%' and version > 6")
For Each Item In Collection
   set Javaver1 = item.version
If Javaver1 > Javaver Then
   Javaver = Javaver1
end If
next
WScript.Echo Item.Name & "," & Javaver

    But it gripes at me saying (7, 4) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required '[string: "7.0.90"]'

    Where is the error? 

    Thanks again guys!!

    Never mind. I figured it out...

    strComputer = "."
JavaVer = "6"
JavaName = "Java"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set Collection = objWMIService.ExecQuery("select Name,Version from " _
  & "Win32_Product where name like '%Java%' and version > 6")
For Each Item In Collection
   Javaver1 = item.version
   JavaName1 = item.name
If Javaver1 > Javaver Then
   Javaver = Javaver1 
   JavaName = Javaname1
end If
next
WScript.Echo JavaName & "," & Javaver
