Hi

Put e.g. this WMI script into a .vbs file:


'--------------------8<----------------------
strComputer = "." ' use "." for local computer

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each objOperatingSystem in colSettings
Wscript.Echo "OS Caption: " & objOperatingSystem.Caption
Next
'--------------------8<----------------------

Check out GetVersionEx() and make sure to pass a pointer to a
OSVERSIONINFOEX structure (not OSVERSIONINFO).
