Labview version, OS version from within a VI?

[Marty Burns]

How can you determine the version of Labview running and the OS version
running (on a Windows box) from within a VI? Do you need to invoke the WIN32
API? or is there a VI component that provides this?

Any help appreciated,
Marty Burns

You can find at least part of this information from the VI server. Look
at the Application class properties.

The VI you want is the PropertyNode vi.

Bring up your diagram and right click to get the vi palette.
Go to the 'Applicaion Control' sub-palette.
Drag a 'Property Node' vi onto your diagram.
The properties you need are:
OperatingSystem|Name "Windows Me"
OperatingSystem|Version Number and "4.90"
Application|Version Number "6.1"

Hope this helps
