I had a similar issue with Internet Explorer 11 not being detected correctly by .NET 4.0 framework. Here's how I worked around the problem:
Installing the suggested patches didn't do the trick. After digging deeper into the issue, I found that although the [

To work around the issue I created a custom `.browser` file in the `app_browsers` directory with the following content:
<!-- language: lang-xml -->
<browsers>
<browser id="IE11" parentID="Mozilla">
<identification>
<userAgent match="Trident\/7.0; rv:(?'version'(?'major'\d+)(\.(?'minor'\d+)?)(?'letters'\w*))(?'extra'[^)]*)" />
<userAgent nonMatch="IEMobile" />
</identification>
<capture>
<userAgent match="Trident/(?'layoutVersion'\d+)" />
</capture>
<capabilities>
<capability name="browser" value="IE" />

I would like to clarify that the issue is happening only with .NET 4.0. With .NET 4.5, the browser and its version are detected correctly.
