Detect Windows Edition
hello everybody,
how can i detect the particular windows xp edition, i.e. whether system is:
> Home Edition
> Professional Edition
> Enterprise Edition
> Media Center Edition
is anybody aware of the particular registry key that has to be looked at to retrieve the required information.
Please Help..
Thanks

call GetVersionEx(OSVERSIONINFOEX) with the system plugin to tell if it is Home or Pro
And call GetSystemMetrics with the system plugin to figure out if its media center, Starter Edition or Tablet PC Edition
but what you really should do is to figure out if there is anything that your apps need that is not in xp home and just check for the existence of that api or program

And next time, you might want to idle for a little bit in the IRC channel after asking a question, you can't expect people to respond in a minute or two all the time
