SUMMARY

This article describes how to determine what Operating System (OS) is Being Used.

DISCUSSION

AutoPlay Media includes an action to detect what OS the user is running.

Add the following script to any event in your application to store the user's OS version in a variable OS_Name:

OS_Name = "OS Name: " ..System.GetOSName();

Please note that AutoPlay has another built in function: System.GetOsVersionInfo(), which returns the version information of the user's operating system in a table. This action is available in the Pro Edition Only.

KEYWORDS: AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0, Operating System, OS, System, Version
