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,

Marcus Friedlaender

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
