@OSServicePack help

[Willow]

I know how and what @OSServicePack returns in value, however can anyone tell me where it obtains the info from. I would imagine that it is stored in the registry...but which key?

This info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Willow.

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Value: CSDVersion

Would be my guess.

Well knowing Valik I have serious doubts that it's getting that info from the registry. It's more apt to be from a call to the Windows API.

Valik hates code that relies on the registry.

True, the macro itself most likely uses GetVersionEx() documented http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724451(VS.85).aspx

See http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86024&view=findpost&p=742429) for an AutoIt example.
