How to detect different Windows versions...
-
...in a Kernel mode driver? If possible I need to be able to detect and diferentiate between Win ME, Win XP, Win 2K and Win 98 (first AND second edition) Steve T.
Can you use ::GetVersionEx(...), or is it different for kernel mode? Jon Sagara What about :bob:? "Teve Torbes, I've only got one thing to say to you: Tuck Off!" -- Dob Bole

It mus be different for kernel mode, else he would not have asked. I mean a guy writing kernel mode code would prolly have heard of GetVersionEx anyway. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

As long as we're speculating, I'll go the opposite route - I say this is his first foray into the world of driver development. ;P Jon Sagara What about :bob:? "Teve Torbes, I've only got one thing to say to you: Tuck Off!" -- Dob Bole

Are you suggesting that he is taking the plunge too early? Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

No, Nish, I was just poking a little fun. :) Jon Sagara What about :bob:? "Teve Torbes, I've only got one thing to say to you: Tuck Off!" -- Dob Bole

Okay! I thought you were making some calculated guesses as to the original poster's programming skill level and the direction he was taking :-) Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

Thanks Agus (and everyone) GetVersionEx() is not the one for kernel mode - but poking around in the ddk I found IoIsWdmVersionAvailable()to serve my purpose. though it doesn't help with Win98 / Win98SE distinction. (not very intuitive - but then nothing much is in kernel mode ;) Steve T.

Steve T wrote: GetVersionEx() is not the one for kernel mode Just out of curiosity, why doesn't it work? Jon Sagara What about :bob:?
