Anyone with Windows Seven? Can you test this?

[baltoro]

I've written an incredibly bloated assembly library that determines the Windows Operating System version, and some other features of the local computer environment that might be useful, and I need someone that is running Windows Seven (or, even Windows Vista) to test it. I am running on Windows XP Professional, so there are certain features of the DLL that won't execute on my system.
Thanks,...I appreciate it.
I've posted it here: My Completely Useless Library.
The one thing that I didn't concern myself with was including a manifest file (since it's a legacy application, I didn't think it needed one). Also, you don't need Administrative Privileges to run it (although it will tell you if you are running as an Administrator).
All it does, is gather information, and write it out to file. It doesn't make any registry entries (or, even check any), nor, does it make any security context alterations.

Sounds like a hacking feature  :bdg

Although it could also be used for crash reports  :lol

...After awhile,...EVERYTHING sounds like a hacking feature,...
...I'd take that as a compliment, but, as we all know, I'm an idiot. I couldn't hack my own neuroses.

Runs well on Win 7 32-bit

Thanks for posting this.  I was needing to find the answer to a couple of things that your code answered.

[baltoro]

Thanks everyone, for the feedback (especially, Sinsi, and I don't know why that happened  :eek),...that's an enormous help.
By the way, Dave is disgruntled, too,...looks like I'll have to refund his money.  :bg
There are a number of errors, I'm discovering, but, if you read the code (and, warning, it's lengthy and tedious), you will find that there aren't many default blocks that execute when some aspect of the OSVERSIONINFOEX struct produces an ambiguous result. The technique I used was straight from the MSDN library: Getting The System Version, except that I coded it in assembly language (which is alot more fun).
The other routines are directly from MSDN, too,...so, there's nothing new here. The one thing that I did not incorporate into the code was the use of the CPUID instruction, which would undoubtedly have produced more reliable results. As Dave helpfully pointed out, there are numerous threads here on the MASM Forum that deal with this subject (and, detail the inherent problems).

i am not disgruntled - lol

i was planning on using the function, as well as IsWOW64, to id newer OS's only
for example, i want to know whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit version of win7
seeing as my routine is 32-bit code, IsWOW64 seems like an easy way to differentiate
also - i want to get the version (home premium, pro ultimate, and so on)
that info is easy to get from the registry, with some whack-a-mole case code   :bg

[evlncrn8]

apparently the 'proper' method is to do a getprocaddress on kernel32 -> GetSystemWow64DirectoryA

if it exists, call it (with a sufficient buffer)

if it succeeds you're 64 bit

if not, then do get lasterror and it should be ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
