System.GetOSVersionInfo Examples

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 = "5.1.2600";

-- 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 XP or later 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 XP or later (version 5.1.2600 or newer), an error message is displayed.
