Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can detect from my application that it is running
under Windows XPE ?

TIA,
Guru

Compare the values for XPe & XPPro at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions\ProductSuite

HTH,
Paul

MS may have a better answer, but I would have the application look for the
following in the registry:


Key: HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\ProductOption\Product Suite
Value: Embedded NT

- or -

Key: HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Windows
Embedded\RunTimeID\RuntTimeSKUCode
Value: XPeCli

Besides the reg key listed by the others, also note that if you prefer
OSVERSIONINFOEX, then the following applies to XPe:

VER_SUITE_EMBEDDEDNT

Though it's not yet listed on MSDN via the link below, it provides some more
info on the structure:

Running on a slightly parallel track, is there an API call to ensure that
our application is running on our XPe build?

Nop, you are on the right track
And you have posted question on Andy's answer on this subject.
Follow the link Andy gave.

Function is GetVersionEx.
in wSuiteMask you will have VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS | VER_SUITE_EMBEDDEDNT
or in hex 0x0140

Thanks Andy,

I don't think that I would ever bother to look in the WinNT.h.
