Detecting Windows XP Embedded vs Windows XP

[Guest]

Is there a way to programatically detect that windows XP embedded is running
rather than windows XP. Registry settings, win32 api, .net api??

Thanks,
Dan

Dear DanGo,

Try this.
1. Call API

BOOL GetVersionEx(


LPOSVERSIONINFO lpVersionInfo


);


OSVERSIONINFOEX structure (which is the output of this call)


One of the members is wSuiteMask (a WORD variable).


Check the VER_SUITE_EMBEDDEDNT (0x00000040) flag in this variable.


2. Query value in Registry


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Cur-rentControlSet\Control\Product-Options]


Key Name: ProductSuite


Type: MULTI_SZ


Value: EmbeddedNT


(In XP Pro, it seems that no content in this key)
