    OSVERSIONINFOEX and wReserved

    I'll deal with the ASCII version of this struct. The OSVERSIONINFOEX according to MSDN has some of the formerly reserved data at the end of the struct filled in. In particular, wSuiteMask and wProductType now exist where some of the wReserved data once was. The only problem is, my winbase.h file has the old version. I believe my SDK is updated. What's the story with this struct? Is it supposed to be updated or what?

    I have the July 2003 SDK on MSVC.NET 2003 Ent (version 7 2003 release).

    My OSVERSIONINFOEX is defined in winnt.h (with wSuiteMask and wProductType ect) and has only a check of the version in winbase.h.

    Fascinating. I just searched my machine at home and once again it lives in Winbase.h (incorrect again). So you're saying that an updated SDK will fix this huh?
