BoardBabe Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I really have no idea, but maye if you have a look at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] Edited February 4, 2006 by BoardBabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 hmmm...let me see that!! anyway...but thanks for such a nice reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Sure, good luck Try changing the values "Microsoft Windows XP" and "Service Pack 1/2" and reboot, maybe it does the trick, or maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 regjump "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"/v "CSDVersion" /t REG_SZ /d "Service Pack 2"/v Value Name/t Type/d Value Datayou can change Value Data to another string. I haven't check if it works on Full bloated Windows XP but it works on Windows XP Embedded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSpear Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 This method should work fine for most purposes. I never checked to see if it actually changed the reading in the dialog box in the screen shot above, but I have to do this whenever I install a proprietary application for one of my clients. The installer will not install on XP Gold or XP SP2. It wants XP SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 i have tried it..but still windows shows older version as SP1!!! well..i think file responsible for checking windows version is "VER.DLL" located into "WINDOWS/SYSTEM" directory...i have tried to modify it with reshacker..but it cant modify it!! how can we modify it??

xpmaniac4ever Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 @amit_talkin : I thought you only wanted to change what is displayed in System Properties (sysdm.cpl) not the way programs "see" the Windows version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 no no...i want to change windows version shown in system properties.....as it is showing in screen shot that it is Service pack 1!! i want to change that line!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpmaniac4ever Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 As I said, modify the sysdm.cpl file with Resource Hacker !! Look in String Table if that file, modify it to fit your needs, and save it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
