 I only have documentation on detecting NT, 95 and 3.x.

If all else fails, you could go to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber

Hmm, problem is, on NT 4, the key appears to be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Version

I do see "OS=Windows_NT" set as an environment variable. Does anybody
here have Windows ME and could take a look around where the info is
stored?

I need to detect Windows ME in order to work around the shell32.dll
error caused by Win32::FileOp and BrowseForFolder on Windows ME.

Or is anybody sufficiently familiar with the MS web site and could tell
me where to look?

Thanks,

Detecting Windows ME

2001-03-31 Thread Marcus

Are there any new functions to detect Windows ME as the OS, like
IsWinNT()?

If not, how does one detect ME, 2000 and 98?
I only have documentation on detecting NT, 95 and 3.x.

Thanks,
