Hello, ChuckB!

CIs there a registry key that has windows version information in it?


Why can't you use Environment.OsVersion.
OperatingSystem object has all the info you need

It's to check remotely. Basically I have a program that goes through an
ip range, checks to see if it's pingable, checks DNS, and checks a
specific registry key. Just thought if I used a registry key to check
the OS version, it would be less code and be faster.
