Looking for Select EndSelect workaround

[stanl]

The script below fails to find the latest .NET version installed using Select...EndSelect (my version release is 528372). I added an if statement just to check my version. I realize the code code be written with a series of if and statements, and I think at one time a way was posted to have the case statements returned as integer rather than boolean (where they all fail). 

Code (WINBATCH) Select Expand

   Case value >= 528040

   Break
   Case value

   Break


EndSelect

It is not clear to me what you mean by "to have the case statements returned as an integer rather than boolean (where they all fail)".  Case statements are never returned and they can contain any WIL expression that evaluates to an integer. But perhaps this is what you are referring to.

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

value = RegQueryDword(@REGMACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\[Release]",0)  +0
x = value >= 528040
Select 1
   Case value >= 528040
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.8 or later")
   Break
   Case value >= 461808
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.7.2")
   Break
   Case value >= 461308
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.7.1")
   Break
   Case value >= 460798
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.7")
   Break
   Case value >= 394802
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.6.2")
   Break
   Case value >= 394254
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.6.1")
   Break
   Case value >= 393295
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.6")
   Break
   Case value >= 379893
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.5.2")
   Break
   Case value >= 378675
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.5.1")
   Break
   Case value >= 378389
   Message("Current .NET Version","4.5")
   Break
   Case 1
   Message("Current .NET Version ":value, "Cannot Be Determined":@LF:"or Version not > 4.5")
   Break
EndSelect

if value >= 528040 Then Message("Current .NET Version ":value,"4.8 or later")

Exit

Thanks. Hadn't worked with Select or Switch in a while. I used your code but started with lowest value [ x = value >= 378389 ] and took out the if. Also, not huge need to keep replicating the message(). It is good to keep one's skills sharp even at the risk of a smackdown :-[

Threw in a UDF for return type.

You really need to stick with:

Switch 1

and not

Switch AnythingElse

Using AnythingElse just leads to heartache and pain.

The idiom is always:

Switch 1
case condition1
case condition2
etc
endswitch

BTW, Switch and Select are synonyms; I always use Switch.

Like I originally confessed, never really used either Select or Switch that much. My initial intent was to compare if..then statements against Switch or Select, then I like realized 'just a few milliseconds'. You are correct Switch 1 is basically 'look for True' and the wrong use of AnythingElse promotes failure.
