Yeah!

On NT based machined (NT, 2k, XP) you con find out information from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Look at strings "CurrentVersion" and "ProductName"

Hope this helps

It's probably safer to use GetVersion() or GetVersionEx(), since this is an API call and will still work if they change the location of the information in the registry. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...etversionex.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ioninfo_str.asp for more details.

GetVersionInfoEx works on windows 95/98/ME and 2000/XP/NT. The information in the registry for the NT based operating systems is different than the information non-NT based operating systems.

The function should be GetVersionEx, not GetVersionInfoEx.
