How to differentiate Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008      Vadmyst   |   Edit   |   Show History
At present VersionNT number and WindowsBuild numbers are the same for Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008

What will happen when there will be SP1 form Windows Server 2008? How can installer detect correctly OS installed?

ServicePackLevel for Windows Server 2008 is not correct.      ColbyRingeisen   |   Edit   |   Show History

Windows Server 2008 is a "Vista" system and ships with SP1 already included (the generally available [GA] DVD anyway, prior 'release candidate' [RC] DVDs did not include SP1).

The Windows Server 2008 information in this spreadsheet for ServicePackLevel is not correct. On Windows Server 2008 systems created using the generally available (GA) installation DVD, the ServicePackLevel is "1".

VersionNT for XP x64, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2      Cory Womacks   |   Edit   |   Show History
I believe the following are correct (and missing from the documentation above):

VersionNT and VersionNT64 are 502 on Windows XP x64. I.e. the same as Windows Server 2003. Use MsiNTProductType to differentiate (1 is client OS, > 1 is server OS).

VersionNT and VersionNT64 are 601 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Again, use MsiNTProductType to differentiate (as with Vista vs 2008).
