Re: Finding current OS Version [modified]

From the remarks section of OSVERSIONINFO Structure[^]:

Operating system	Version no.	dwMajorVersion	dwMinorVersion	Other
Windows 7	6.1	6	1	`OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType <font color=red style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">==</font> VER_NT_WORKSTATION`
Windows Server 2008 R2	6.1	6	1	`OSVERSIONINFOEX.wProductType <font color=red style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">!=</font> VER_NT_WORKSTATION`

So, you just need to check for the wProductType member of the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure that you're passing in to the API.

I appreciate that you're trying to help, but how about you read the question before responding? The OP has posted a Winforms question, and you're handing him a lmgtfy link for some MFC stuff. Your answer is worse than the question itself.

Hello people!

Does any of you know a way to programmatically map a network drive through a non-standard port? I mean, like WNetAddConnection[^], but this doesn't seem to accept any port specifications, like, if i specify "\\192.168.1.2:1234\whatevershare", it will tell me something like "invalid network path" or somesuch. I read in some SMB specs that SMB clients should be able to handle non-standard ports, but i see no way to do this with windows. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Verify if my library(dll) is corrupted?

Hi i wrote a project using wxwidget in linux and windows. In windows I used the cygwin gnu makefile using the visual studio command line compiler (cl.exe). Sometimes a library of my project is generated truncated, without error by compiler, and obviously when I try to use it the loader gives error.
When I say "cut off" I mean, if I recompile the library, the new file is made larger. I compile with multiple processors with the option of make-j2, may be the cause?
Is there a way to verify the correctness of a library? or to find the correct end of a library?

Thank you very much!!

Can you try compiling it on a different machine? If you don't change the library, and you get different sizes from different compiles, then you should also look at the Windows event log for hard disk errors, or possibly even a virus.

Best wishes,

There is in the pc an updated antivirus, and there is no problem in the pc.
Now I want to find a check for the dll, and later i look for the cause, perhaps the compilation with two processors...
Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. I used the following code and get these two errors:

bool connectionStatus = InternetGetConnectedState(INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE,0);

Errors:

d:\downloadversion\downloadversion\Form1.h(31) : error C2065: 'INTERNET_CONNECTION_OFFLINE' : undeclared identifier
d:\downloadversion\downloadversion\Form1.h(31) : error C3861: 'InternetGetConnectedState': identifier not found

I'm using Windows Forms.

You'll need to include a header, and link to a library to use this function. Scroll down to the "Requirements" section of the MSDN link I provided you with.

Hi!
It's told that minimum supported client and server as Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server. Will it work with Windows XP?

Do I have to download the following to my Solution path?

Wininet.h
Wininet.lib
Wininet.dll

Windows XP was released after Windows 2000. So, the API will work on XP.

If I include the above code, I got 283 errors, all in the Wininet.h file(Syntax errors, missing type specifier errors and error C2378: 'HINTERNET' : redefinition; symbol cannot be overloaded with a typedef). Where shall I get the Wininet.h file? Do I have to Download and install Windows SDK to solve all these errors?

After I included "windows.h", all the errors vanished. Thanks alot.
