typedef struct _OSVERSIONINFO{

DWORD dwOSVersionInfoSize;

DWORD dwMajorVersion;

DWORD dwMinorVersion;

DWORD dwBuildNumber;

DWORD dwPlatformId;

TCHAR szCSDVersion[ 128 ];

} OSVERSIONINFO;

Members

dwOSVersionInfoSize

Specifies the size, in bytes, of this data structure. Set this member to sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO) before calling the GetVersionEx function.
