Say I have a program that needs to work two different ways based on the OS you are running, how can I tell the version of windows?

I want my program to run a command one way if its a 9x/nt4 host and another if its a 2k/xp/2k3 host.

How?

Use @SYSINFO(WINVER) to get your windows version number
You can also use:
@SYSINFO(ISNT) ifyour intention is only to know if the OS belongs to NT family.

@SYSINFO(ISNT) does not work.

I can get the version number of windows though.

Does anyone have a list i could use for all the versions of windows?

There's a Windows version chart at the bottom of this page:

Not exactly sure what @sysinfo(WINVER) returns on all of
them though.

Windows 95 returns 4.0 Wink

I believe @sysinfo(ISNT) only is available in VDS 5 -

You can also see Garrett's Windows version chart here:
