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()
