A more up to date @OSVersion

[Brenton]

I tried to post this to example scripts but I don't seem to have permission...

Anyway, for those of you using Windows 7, you probably already figured out that @OSVersion returns "WIN_VISTA" for both Vista and Win7. I wrote a quick function that returns the correct value. Enjoy!

Func OSVersion()
    If @OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA" Then
        $version = FileGetVersion(@SystemDir & "\WinVer.exe");
        If StringLeft($version,3) = "6.0" Then
            Return "WIN_VISTA"
        Else 
            Return "WIN_7"
        EndIf
    Else
        Return @OSVersion
    EndIf
EndFunc

You don't have permission becouse you don't have 5 posts, get a mod to move it...

that looks quite handy, Not that i'd have any use for it, winxp all the way!

Looking at Version-Info of my XP (5.1.26...) this might be more accurate in the long run ...

StringLeft($version,2) = "6."

The problem is that Microsoft decided to give Windows 7 a version number of 6.1.xxxx

(You would think that Windows "7" would have a version number of "7"...)

I don't know why they did that but that's the reason I put 6.0 for Vista.

They gave it a version of 6.1 because it is built on the same basic kernal as vista (6.0) they made changes to it, but it is not a rewrite, hence 6.1 and not 7.

7 will be the next major rewrite of the kernal.
