Hi I would like to detect broswer type and version (Example FF2, FF3,
IE, so on) on the client side using VBScript.

You will not be able to use vbscript with Firefox - it is not supported. You
will need to use javascript instead.

I appreciate any script
on this I  can do; and if not available some general guidelines how I
should accomplish this using VBSCript ;example what objects i need to
query. or is it possible to do this through reading registry keys.

No registry keys are needed. DHTM should suffice. See:http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/browsersniffer.htm

Thanks for your reply. I am interested in detecting only Firefox and
IE versions installed. And I like to do so without the browesers
actually launched.

I have an hta script; so the code that I am looking for to do the
detection will be included in that hta script written in VBScript.
There must be a way to detect firefox as well, the script you
mentioned seems to support detection of several broswers but Firefox
which is what I need along with IE. any other thoughts? Thanks.
