1. Windows ME registry key
Could someone with Windows ME please email me the registry key that shows
the Windows ME version number?
On Windows 95/98,
the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
the value is:
VersionNumber
the data is:
4.10.<something>
On Windows XP/2000,
the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
the value is:
CurrentVersion
the data is
"5.1" or "5.0" (5.1=xp, 5.0=2000)
I need to know what the key and value is for Win ME, but I don't own it.
Thanks,
Ted

I was just snooping around Win32Lib beta release 'E' and noticed a little
function called getWinVersion(), here's the doc pulled straight from the
source:
System Attributes
getWinVersion()
Gets the version information of the windows platform you are running in.
SEQUENCE: {WinVer, VariantString, BuildNo}
WinVer return value can be one of ... /n
- WIN_3_1
- WIN_95
- WIN_95_OSR2
- WIN_98
- WIN_98SE
- WIN_ME
- WIN_NT_3_51
- WIN_NT_4
- WIN_2000
- WIN_XP
- WIN_UNKNOWN
- VariantString is a service pack name. /n
- BuildNo is the operating system's build number.
Example
sequence winver
winver = getWinVersion()
