tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	ver \| find "5.2." > NUL if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 set MyWindowsVer=Server2k3 ver \| find "6.1." > NUL if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 set MyWindowsVer=Win7 ver \| find "6.0." > NUL if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 set MyWindowsVer=Vista ver \| find "5.1." > NUL if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 set MyWindowsVer=XP Only problem is that 6.0 counts for both Vista and for Server2008. How to differentiate the two from within a DOS batch file? _________________________ Tony Fabris

I'm not sure if it's an R1 or R2 or SP1 etc thing or not, I don't have that many Server 2008 boxes to test against. I just thought it was funny. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Yeah, Windows XP 64 is basically just Windows 2003 SP2. That was when they got the two streams back together, so that Windows Vista is Windows 2008 and Windows 7 is Windows 2008 R2. _________________________ -- roger
