Way to check if SKSE is installed?

[Bluarchon]

Is there a scripting practice to first check if SKSE is installed? That way I would only continue using SKSE commands if it exists.

if(SKSE.GetVersionRelease() > 0)
     debug.trace("skse is installed")
else
     debug.trace("No skse")
endif

Thanks man!

That's great, except GetVersionRelease() will still throw an error if the function doesn't exist (as is the case if they don't have SKSE). I'd prefer a "clean" or error-free way of checking, if possible.

Console -> GetSKSEVersion and hit enter. if it says ur version number then its working. If it says command cant be found then its not wokring.

The original question was regarding scripting practice. As you say, checking whilst in-game is trivial. But I'd like to know how to write code to check if the user of my mod has SKSE running, preferably without throwing errors.

Thanks, this actually helped me with my problem of trying to figure out the version #

You can't check without throwing an error, because in order to check if SKSE is installed you have to call an SKSE function at some point. And, obviously, if SKSE isn't installed those functions won't exist. Edited July 8, 2017 by Reneer

My question is if I have the skse running in the steam-streamapps-common file how do I get nexus-vortex to see it , cause all I get is no exe file found.
