Hey guys i found a post for this but it was for WPI but what i need is the code required to only start the progam if the windows version is 5.2

Something like this:

@echo off

ver | find "Version 5.2"
if errorlevel 1 goto NotVer52
echo Version 5.2
goto end

:NotVer52
echo Not Version 5.2
goto end

:end

Just wanted to post and say thanks for this tip. I knew that 'ver' displayed that information but didn't know how to parse it.

Here is what I am using to differentiate between XP and Vista.

@echo off

ver | find "Version 5.1"
if errorlevel 1 goto NotXP
echo XP
goto end

:NotXP
ver | find "Version 6.0"
if errorlevel 1 goto end
echo Vista
goto end

:end

Thanks again

You can use this :

if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr start "" setup.exe

For me,I use that code, it's check uac too ...

if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr fsutil | find "administrateur"
if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr if "%errorlevel%"=="0" echo UAC ON&&pause&&exit else echo UAC OFF&&start "" setup.exe

We really need more information than this, because the way I see it is that if you're creating an unattended disk, you should already know what OS you're installing!

ver | find "Version 5.2"

ver | find "Version 5.1"

This will actually only return the version of the Command Interpreter not the Operating System. Although this is likely to be the same, it is not always true.

if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr

Unfortunately if the OS is part of a Dual Boot system with Vista and XP for instance, the bootmgr directory may exist in the root of the XP system drive thus giving a false case.
