Windows Version Test

Macro : WinVer

If a macro needs to respond differently depending upon the Windows version, you can use an IF test of the version number via the WinVer macro. For example, to test if Daqarta is running on Vista or later, use IF.WinVer=>5.99. The IF will pass if the version is 6.0 (Vista) or more. ( Note that all macros require the = sign, so that => means "Greater Than", not "Greater Than or Equal To".)

WinVer accepts only single-digit major version numbers, and one- or two-digit minor version numbers. If you omit the decimal and minor version number, the minor version will be assumed to be 0. If you use ' x' after the decimal instead of a specific value, only the major version will be tested. For example, IF.WinVer=5.x would pass for Windows 2000, XP, or XP-64.

Note that minor version numbers are not decimal fractions: 4.10 is not the same as 4.1.

    4.0 = Windows 95 or NT Workstation
    4.1 = Windows 98
    4.10 = Windows 98 SE
    4.90 = Windows Me
    5.0 = Windows 2000
    5.1 = Windows XP
    5.2 = Windows XP Professional x64
    6.0 = Windows Vista
    6.1 = Windows 7
