Comments

Upon return from WIN$VERSION, all of the data elements contained in WINVERSION-DATA are filled in. If you call WIN$VERSION and the host machine is not a Windows or Windows NT system, the fields are set to zero.

The WINVERSION-DATA fields have the following meaning:

WIN-MAJOR-VERSION - The major version number reported by Windows. See table below for possible values.
WIN-MINOR-VERSION - The minor version number reported by Windows. See table below for possible values.

Windows Version	WIN-MAJOR-VERSION	WIN-MINOR-VERSION	Other
Windows XP	5	1	Not applicable.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition	5	2	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION) && (SYSTEM_INFO.wProcessorArchitecture==PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64
Windows Vista	6	0	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION
Windows 7	6	1	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION
Windows Server 2012	6	2	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType == VER_NT_WORKSTATION
Windows Server 2008 R2	6	1	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType != VER_NT_WORKSTATION
Windows Server 2008	6	0	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType != VER_NT_WORKSTATION
Windows Server 2003 R2	5	2	GetSystemMetrics(SM_SERVERR2) != 0
Windows Home Sever	5	2	OSVERSIONINFOEX.wSuiteMask & VER_SUITE_WH_SERVER
Windows Server 2003	5	2	GetSystemMetrics(SM_SERVERR2) == 0

WIN-PLATFORM - Provides a general description of the host system. If the host is Windows NT/Windows 2000, the value is set to PLATFORM-WIN-NT. If the host is Windows 98, the value is set to PLATFORM-WIN-9X.
WIN-WORDSIZE - This item is set to WIN-WORDSIZE-32 for a 32-bit operating system.
WIN-BUILDNUMBER - Identifies the build number of the operating system.
WIN-CSDVERSION - Indicates the latest Service Pack installed on the system. If no Service Pack has been installed the string is empty.
WIN-SERVICEPACK-MAJOR - Indicates the major version number of the latest Service Pack installed on the system. If no Service Pack has been installed the value is 0.
WIN-SERVICEPACK-MINOR - Indicates the minor version number of the latest Service Pack installed on the system. If no Service Pack has been installed the value is 0.
WIN-SUITEMASK - This is a bit mask that identifies the product suites available on the system. Refer to the operating system documentation for a list of possible values.
WIN-PRODUCTTTYPE - Identifies additional information about the system.
