Detect OS
I have now tried to get the "GetWindowsVersion" script to work in my modern installer, but can't get it to work. It always comes with this error:

1 warning:
install function "GetWindowsVersion" not referenced - zeroing code (81-117) out

- What am I doing wrong? I have enclosed the script. Its a simple one I took from the examples and pasted the "GetWindowsVersion" script in the Installer Functions section. Hope that somebody can help. :cry:

Actually, the warning in this case describes your problem exactly - the function is never referenced (called).

Defining an NSIS (or any other kind, for that matter) function does just that. To get useful work out of a defined funtion, you need to call it.

In this case, you need to say

Call GetWindowsVersion

from [presumably] your main installer section, and then supply some code which does something with the value that has been returned on the top of the stack.

Good Luck!

Yeah, for example:

Function .onInit
Call GetWindowsVersion 
FunctionEnd
