Check Windows version

How I can check in C++ if Windows version installed on computer is Windows Vista and higher (Windows 7)?

Solution

  • Similar to other tests for checking the version of Windows NT:

    OSVERSIONINFO   vi;

memset (&vi, 0, sizeof vi);
vi .dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof vi;
GetVersionEx (&vi);
if (vi.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT  &&  vi.dwMajorVersion >= 6)
