 Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2001 1:47 am Post subject: Version information for each OS? |
 |
|
Greetings everyone,
I'm looking to find out what the reg entries are for in each OS:
For win95, 95 OSR2, 98, 98 SE and ME:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, VersionNumber
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, Version
And for NT, 2k and I'm sure XP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, CurrentVersion
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, ProductName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, CurrentBuildNumber
Any replies with any of this info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You could use the following simple script which will automatically copy the entries to the clipboard:
| Code: |
list create,1
list add,1,"Windows 9x:"
list add,1,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,VersionNumber" = @regread(LOCAL,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,VersionNumber)
list add,1,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,Version" = @regread(LOCAL,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,Version)
list add,1,
list add,1,"Windows NT:"
list add,1,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,VersionNumber" = @regread(LOCAL,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CurrentVersion)
list add,1,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductName" = @regread(LOCAL,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductName)
list add,1,"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CurrentBuildNumber" = @regread(LOCAL,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CurrentBuildNumber)
DIALOG CREATE,Operating system registry entries,-1,0,600,300
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,eResults,0,0,600,300,@text(1),,MULTI
DIALOG SHOW
list copy,1
list close,1
wait event

Here are my entries for Windows 2000:
| Quote: |
Windows 9x:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,VersionNumber =
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,Version =
Windows NT:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,VersionNumber = 5.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,ProductName = Microsoft Windows 2000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion,CurrentBuildNumber = 2195

Best regards,
Tommy

Hi Garrett,
Happy New Year to you and to everyone!
This is what I have for my WinNT Server 4 Service pack 6a.
Unfortunately, I do not have any WinNT 4 Workstations left. They have all been replaced with Win2k.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, CurrentBuild= 1.511.1 () (Obsolete Data - do not use) <- I do not know why this phrase is here. I never bothered to check. Anyone?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, CurrentBuildNumber= 1381
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, 4.0
Hope this helps.
Sylvester

I compiled an article containing the information submitted here. You can download it at:
http://www.vdsworld.com/download.php?file=downloads/articles/winver.zip
It still contains some gaps. We still need the information for Windows 95, Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 95 OSR2.1, Windows 95 OSR2.5, Windows NT Workstation and Windows XP Professional Edition. We still need some information about Windows NT Server.
Mac, which OSR version of Windows 95 are you actually using? I expect it to either be OSR2 or OSR2.1, but couldn't exactly figure which one, so the information isn't included in the table yet.
Best regards,
Tommy |

Hi Tommy, :)
I'm guessing it's "OSR2.5".
My CD has USB OSR2 support version 4.03.1214 which is
on the "OSR2.5" CD. The "OSR2.1" CD has 4.03.1212.
This is the only clue I've found.
The CD doesn't say, and the system properties just shows
"Windows 95 4.00.950 B". There's no "OSR" found in the
registry, and a text search of Windows and Windows\System
files doesn't show "OSR" info in any of them.
So this is my best guess unless you have any ideas...
Cheers, Mac

Hi,
I have 5 installations of NT servers, 3 DC's (1 Primary and 2 Secondaries), 1 member server, and 1 stand alone that I can access readily. All my workstations are now Win2k. Yep, I'm a geek. I have networks at work and at home, it's insane.  None of the 3 types have ProductName in their registry entries.
What other information do we need from NT 4 Server (service Pack 6a)?
I don't have Win2k Servers yet. I did, but I dismantled them when I built a linux server, which promptly crashed so it's not available at the moment either.

I was a little surprised to see that XP pro has the same entries as XP home edition, but it does.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion = 5.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion = Microsoft Windows XP
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion = 2600
Also NT 4.0 workstation is same as NT 4.0 server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, CurrentBuildNumber= 1381
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, 4.0
No product name for NT 4.0 (apparently this started with 2000?)
This could pose a problem using only these reg keys to determine win version. |

I uploaded a new version of the document. Still there are gaps for Windows 95, 95 OSR2 and 95 OSR2.1.
Anyone with Windows 95 still out there?
