Hi Giovanni

And it was a good exercise for me, too. And that code could come in handy
for me, too, in future.

And if so, thats great! Here is a .NET (C#) variant fo some code
i wrote, that possibly will be come handy for some others:

        public enum WindowsPlatformType : uint
        {
            WindowsUnknown = 0,
            Windows2000ProOrSer = 1,
            WindowsXPHomeOrPro = 2,
            Windows2003Server = 3,
            WindowsVistaOrServer2008 = 4,
        }

        public WindowsPlatformType GetWindowsPlatformType()
        {
            try
            {
                Version ver = Environment.OSVersion.Version;

                if (ver.Major == 5 && ver.Minor == 0)
                {
                    return WindowsPlatformType.Windows2000ProOrSer;
                }
                else if(ver.Major == 5 && ver.Minor == 1)
                {
                    return WindowsPlatformType.WindowsXPHomeOrPro;
                }
                else if (ver.Major == 5 && ver.Minor == 2)
                {
                    return WindowsPlatformType.Windows2003Server;
                }
                else if (ver.Major == 6 && ver.Minor == 0)
                {
                    return WindowsPlatformType.WindowsVistaOrServer2008;
                }
                else
                {
                    return WindowsPlatformType.WindowsUnknown;
                }

            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return WindowsPlatformType.WindowsUnknown;
            }

        }

It makes a rough outline/selection of the os platform and is usefull if
you only want to know on what you are running. The other stuff will
be differentaited by GetVersionEx(...) and GetProductInfo(...) but
thats good enough for me so far,...

Regards

Kerem

Thanks for your big effort Giovanni, i really apreciate that!
Thanks a lot, but it would be perfectly ok, if you just had
pointed to a function/example, etc...you did not had to do
all those work,...;-)

Thanks a million!

You're welcome.

And it was a good exercise for me, too. And that code could come in handy
for me, too, in future.
