From: NeilH on 6 Feb 2009 11:19 I was wondering if anyone knew the Win32MajorVersion and Win32MinorVersion for Windows 2008 please? My software which is written in VB6 works out which version of Windows is being used and logs it. I find many customers don't know what they are running OS wise, but expect me to tell them how to setup their computers! I know all the other OS version's, I'm just missing Windows 2008. Neil..

Check MSDN online for GetVersionEx(). OS versions are listed under OSVERSIONINFOEX Structure. GetVersionEx Function http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724451(VS.85).aspx
