    Question

    Anyone know what value is the best Registry Value to
    determine which version of Microsoft Windows is running?

    Is it.....

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software
    Microsoft
    Windows
    CurrentVersion
    Version = "Windows 98"


    Thanks,

    aatwell

    Yes, in my opinion that is the best one.

    That's one way.
    Take a look at this thread for another way.

    German

    That German reads: I want to live and work in Germany.

    aatwell: Yes, the registry method is probably the best way, beause it tells you exactly what the OS is. For example, if you use the GetVersionEx function, it will only tell you whether it's 9x, NT or 3.x

    I live just north/East of Evansville (in Central time zone)
    In a small (German founded) town called Elberfeld. It may be on your map, it may not be. It isn't on all maps.
