Hi

Can any1 out there help me? I'm am programming in Visual Basic 6 Pro. I would like the program im writing to check what version of Windows the user is running, and then depending on the OS, launch a certain part of the program. Will anyone be able to give me an idea (or a coding example, or whatever) on how to do this (if it is possible). It will be really appreciated.

Thanx in Advance

Check Mnjul's reply to Visual Basics : Uptime. In that post, Mnjul attached a program in VB. In that program there's a function that determines the exact version of Windows.

Thanx a lot for that. Ill download the file and check it out on my PC with VB6 when i get home.

Did you declare the API functions like I did in my project? Well, the part of my codes you need is ExactWinVer in General.bas. And you need to know how to use GetVersionEx. Locate MSDN Library and search for more information
