OS Info Dump

[dedndave]

thanks sinsi
let me play with that one - i may do a conditional display so it only shows one set...

[fearless]

Couple more titbits of info i found that could be useful:


Determining NT 4.0 SP6 versus SP6a. To detect whether Service Pack 6a is installed if SP6 is detected, you can check to see if the following registry value is set to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix\Q246009\Installed


http://www.codeproject.com/KB/winsdk/osdetect.aspx - similar info as before but might be useful.

thanks again, fearless
the version number almost does the job for us
i may use that as the basic value, then append it with additional information
as always, ms leaves out just enough information to make us work for it - lol

[dedndave]

i have again updated the program (ver 2.01)
this time, i added preliminary support for win95/98/98se/ME as per sinsi
if you are running win 2K or later, you will see no difference from previous runs
if you are running win95/98/98se/ME, a different Key name is used
that is, if it works - lol - it will be interesting to see it run on 95/98/ME (maybe even win 3.1 and OS/2)

i have updated the first post of the thread with the new d/l
the source file is included
here is a shortcut to the version 2.01 d/l

now it's more than 25 lines so your "DednDave OS Info Dump" doesn't show  :boohoo:


edit: I put an error check after GetVersionEx which returned 127 "ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND"
edit2: 95 (and win32s I assume) uses OSVERSION and fail when the struc size isn't 148.

[sinsi]

OK, forcing the struc size to 148 produces this

Service Pack Version: 0.0
          Suite Mask: 0000000000000000

The reason for the strange .Build number is

dwBuildNumber

Windows NT: Identifies the build number of the operating system.
Windows 95: Identifies the build number of the operating system in the low-order word. The high-order word contains the major and minor version numbers.

[dedndave]

ok - updated to version 2.02
the os version info structure size is set to 148 for older OS's
i would like to see the displayed values for 95, of course
i also noticed you have win98se
it would be greatly appreciated, sinsi
thanks for your help

oh - maybe Steve (FORTRANS) does - he collects old stuff like me - lol (don't tell the wifee i said that)

i made a small update - added the version to the banner title
and i overwrite the "Press any key to exit" message at exit for a shorter screen

oh - maybe Steve (FORTRANS) does

   Nope, I saw that one in use at work.  Had to help
restore that system way too many time.  Ick.  Plus
it wouldn't run some stuff that worked on 98.

   3.11, maybe 95, 98, 2000, XP, if needed.

Steve N.

[dedndave]

i would be interested in 3.1, Steve - out of curiosity

thanks UtillMasm - good to see a server run
if you would like an explaination of the Suite Mask pins...

[sinsi]

Tried it in win311 with win32s, but it crashed windows - actually it rebooted the system. I got a flash of an error message from emm386 but couldn't see it.

edit: sorry, that was the old version. The new version doesn't work  :( but doesn't crash win311  :bg

Here are the screenshots of the errors.

[dedndave]

thanks again sinsi - lol
i didn't expect it to work, actually
if i knew how to detect win3 early, i would avoid making the GetVersionEx call or, at least, get the structure size right
