How do I obtain Windows Installer variables

[[email protected]]

Hi,

What I really want to do is to obtain whether the OS is Home or Professional. I was able to do that in Wise by querying the 'MsiNTSuitePersonal' Windows Installer Variable and if set to 1 it was home and if not it was professional (or at least not HOME).

thanks for your help,

Steve

There is no support to determine the OS edition at the time.

You may try checking the registry (see first link below) or create a dll that calls GetVersionEx().
