HI all,

There is one problem with VC++.The minor number and major number for "Vista" and "Windows 2008 server" are same.So, in order to distinguish between the two wProductType should be used.But winbase.h packaged with vc++ 6.0, wProductType field is not available.

My question is ... Is there any other way of getting the Proper OS name ?.

Thanks in advance...

Check out OS version detection for 32 and 64 bit OS.

This is what i have done. But your code does not mention how i will differentiate between Vista and Wind 2008 server through some other method . since productid is not supported in the OSVERSIONINFOEX.

Probably because when I wrote I did not had that OS and so table probably needs upgrade.
