Check OS version through batch file
Looking for a batch file to determine OS and branch accordingly.
EX:
If OS = Windows 95 goto w95
if OS = Windows XP goto wxp
etc.
This should have been placed in Windows Batch.

Yeahp, agreed, I very much thought we might even get something better, but thanks for the points I totally agree with the split =)
You can use
VER|FIND "Windows 2000" >NUL
If errorlevel 0 goto WhateverYouWantForWin2k
VER_FIND "Windows XP" >NUL
If errorlevel 0 goto WhateverYouWantForWinXP
etc etc
VER|FIND "Windows 2000" >NUL
If errorlevel 0 goto WhateverYouWantForWin2k
VER_FIND "Windows XP" >NUL
If errorlevel 0 goto WhateverYouWantForWinXP
etc etc
the second one was supposed to use "VER|FIND" rather than "VER_FIND"
Jofnn,
No you can't. VER is always resulting in "Microsoft Windows [version]". XP or 2000 or the like are not even mentioned.

Jofnn, Ver will not include the "Windows 2000" "Windows XP" (etc.) tags it will only ever include a version number.
Some version numbers are even the same even though you or I might want them to be considered differently.
Check my posted solution to see a full list of version numbers from Windows NT 3.1 to Windows Server 2008 R2

lol Qlemo beet me to it ^^ tnx Qlemo ^^
Qlemo/QCubed - the "VER" command does actually return the name as well (in Win2K Pro & WinXP Pro at least) in the following format:
Microsoft Windows xx [Version x.x.xxxx]
I use it in a few of my scripts to determine the OS so that it controls which menu the user is presented with... so I know for sure that it works... Having said that - this may be something in the PRO OS's??

You are correct, but that stopped with W2003. Since then, all "versions" are "Microsoft Windows".

This has turned into a lively discussion now. I have increased the overall point value to 500 but am hesitant to close it again just yet.
Jofnn: Qlemo is correct. The results of running VER on a windows 2003 server:
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
vs. running on a windows XP Pro workstation:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

It seems the discussion has died down but I do appreciate everyone's input. Thank you again QCubed for the code and everyone else for confirming what QCubed and I were thinking. Since the question was for QCubed to post his code I awarded him 200 of the 500 and split the remaining 300 (100 each) between the others.
Thank you again everyone.
Thank you again everyone.
goto %OS%
Windows 200 and up is set to "Windows_NT". You will have to check to see what Windows 95 has.
