distinguish os at run time

Hi All,
I am writing an Ndis Miniport driver for Win98 and Win2k
and trying to make one binary for both of them. Is there any way to
distinguish between Win98 and Win2k at run time.
thanx in advance

Hi,
In NT and W2k you can check the registry setting:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions\ProductType. The walue
should be “WinNT” for the NT or 2k workstation and “LanmanNT” or “ServerNT”
for the server version. In W98 there are no settings like those.

Stas

There is a function:

BOOLEAN PsGetVersion( PULONG pulMajor, PULONG pulMinor, PULONG pulBuild,
UNCODE_STRING *puniCSDVersion );

available to NT KMD Drivers, not sure if it’s available to WDMs. Basically
you provide valid pointers for the values you want, NULL pointers for those
you don’t.
