Detect OS version?

[Steve Cline]

I want to detect whether I am on WIndows 7 vs. Windows XP (related to losing the ability to write to the root of C:, I can't change it, got to work with it) - is there a method that will let me know the version of the OS I am running?  In my case they are both 32 bit versions.

 

Thanks, Steve

Not sure if it will work, but how about EsSystemInfo class>>#osVersion ?

Tom is right Steve, as long as you know you will only encounter Windows systems.  If there is a chance of running on other platforms, you would first want to execute System osType.  Here is a link to Microsoft version information that you may find useful.  In particular, scroll down to the bottom of the page in this link and you will find a chart which documents the version info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724833(v=vs.85).aspx
