Identifying Windows Version, Outside of Windows

[cyberfish]

I have never done any Windows programming . It was just a wild guess.

It's easy to check, though.

Attached is my XP Pro SP2's winver (change the extension to exe), try running it?

You are correct. It outputs correctly as Vista on my PC. So it must be getting the job done by reading the values from the registry. Silly of me to expect them to write a different program for each version instead of reusing the existing one.
