Detect Operating System Service Pack

=?Utf-8?B?TWlrZQ==?=

Dear Support,

I'm not an ASP programmer, however so far by searching the web, I have
created this working code:

<html>
<body>


School IP address:
<%Response.Writ e(Request.Serve rVariables("rem ote_addr"))%>

Browser:
<%= Request.Browser .Browser %>

Browser Version:
<%= Request.Browser .Version %>

ActiveX Controls Enabled:
<%= Request.Browser .ActiveXControl s %>

Operating System:
<%= Request.Browser .Platform%> 
</body>
</html>

Which detects IP, Browser, Browser Version and OS. How can I detect the OS
Service Pack which is installed? Thank you!

This is what the CGI "http_user_agen t" returns for my XP SP2 system.

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322;
..NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)

So it does not look like you can retrive this using "server side" code.

The information you are picking up is only what the browser chooses to pass
on when it makes a request to the server. I guess with Web servers / web
developers browser version and .Net framework version is more important than
the service pack level of OS.

by: InstallAware | last post by:

Dear Group If you want to perform a slipstreamed install of .NET Framework 1.1, including Service Pack 1, here's how. First, what do we mean by slipstreamed install? It means that version 1.1 of the framework will be installed, with the service pack 1 update already applied, "slipstreamed". There will be no need to download additional updates or install service packs as a secondary step.
