Where in Windows Registry can you find the entry that tells you what OS you are running?

-=bmacd=-

for win2k:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

It's in there as well as build #s and the software title. Probably different for XP or earlier win 9x based OS's.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

All the Info is there. 5.0 is w2k, 5.1 is xp, 5.2 is .NET

Use the GetVersionEx() Win32 API function.

If only I knew how to call that API through powerbuilder.
