Check which version and fix pack of your HCL Notes / IBM Notes is installed

Today I needed to create a skript that automatically installes a Notes FP (Fix-Pack) to all our clients.

The windows registry, as example, does not tell which of if there is a FP installed. After a while, my current solution is to check which value the variable FaultRecovery_Build inside the notes.ini is containing.

#pseudo code
$fp5IsInstalled = (cat notes.ini | grep -q "Release 10.0.1FP5")
If ($fp5IsInstalled) {
    //... do something or nothing
}

Hope this helps.
