System.GetOSVersionInfo

table System.GetOSVersionInfo (

)

Example 1

OS_info = System.GetOSVersionInfo();

Get's the version information of the OS the user is running and stores it's results in a table called "OS_info." If you wanted the major version number, you could access it by referencing OS_info.MajorVersion.

Example 2

-- Get the current OS Version information
tVersionInfo = System.GetOSVersionInfo();

-- Combine Version information into a file-version string
sCurrentWindowsVersion = tVersionInfo.MajorVersion .. "." .. tVersionInfo.MinorVersion.. "." .. tVersionInfo.BuildNumber;

-- Specify the minimum required file version
sRequiredWindowsVersion = "4.10.2222A";

-- Compare the current file version to the minimum requirement
nCompareResult = String.CompareFileVersions (sRequiredWindowsVersion, sCurrentWindowsVersion);

-- If the minimum requirement is greater than the current version, display an error and exit.
if (nCompareResult == 1) then
Dialog.Message("Error", "Windows 98 Second Edition or newer is required to use this software.", MB_OK, MB_ICONSTOP, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
Application.Exit();
end

Gets the Operating System's version information, and compares it to a minimum value. If the installed operating system is not Windows 98 Second Edition or newer (version 4.10.2222A or newer), an error message is displayed.
