Check for OS Version in a script

Hi gunsmokingman,

again, thanks a lot ! How come you know all those commands ? Is there a magic book where you look these things up or do you simply know them ?

Bye and have a nice day !

Hi Yzöwl,

I have been using your code successfully for months now:

for /f "delims=" %%? in ('net config work^|findstr/i "\<soft"') do call :OSis %%?

if %WinOS% == Vista goto :Vista
if %WinOS% == XP goto :XP

:OSis
echo/%*|find "2000">nul 2>&1&&(set "WinOS=XP"&goto :eof)
echo/%*|find "2002">nul 2>&1&&(set "WinOS=XP"&goto :eof)
echo/%*|find "2003">nul 2>&1&&(set "WinOS=XP"&goto :eof)
echo/%*|find "Vista">nul 2>&1&&(set "WinOS=Vista"&goto :eof)
echo/%*|find "2008">nul 2>&1&&(set "WinOS=Vista"&goto :eof)

Thanks again for it ! :-)

However, recently I am having a problem with this code on WinXP SP3 during runonceex. Seemingly out of nowhere the cmd stops right after this command:

for /f "delims=" %%? in ('net config work^|findstr/i "\<soft"') do call :OSis %%?

This does not happen on all the scripts where this code is present, just one. The strange thing is, if I press the ENTER key, it continues to run normally, no error appears, nothing. But it just stops there forever if noone presses a key.

Do you maybe have an explanation for it or a way around it ?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
