Contributor: SWAG SUPPORT TEAM { Q: How can I get the Windows or DOS version numbers? A: The API call GetVersion will do it, but the information is encrypted into a longint. Here is how to get and decrypt the information: } Type TGetVer = record WinVer, WinRev, DosRev, DosVer: Byte; end; const VerStr = '%d.%d'; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var AllVersions: TGetVer; begin AllVersions := TGetVer(GetVersion); Edit1.Text := Format(VerStr, [AllVersions.WinVer, AllVersions.WinRev]); Edit2.Text := Format(VerStr, [AllVersions.DOSVer, AllVersions.DOSRev]); end; Note1: The values that windows displays for the versions and the values that it returns through its API call are not always the same. e.g. The workgroup version displays as 3.10 rather than 3.11. Note2: Win32 applications should call GetVersionEx rather than GetVersion.
