I need to know the version # of hte OS
For Win98, there's Win98, Win98SE win98SE-a, etc.
I need to get the "version #" of the os; not a file.. is this possible?

Re: how to determine OS version?

I don't have time at the moment to check the exact keys etc. however you can determine that build information by reading values from their Registry. Try looking somewhere like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\CDSVersion

Or something along those lines. You should find build numbers there that you can read.

Hope that helps.
