How to get the name of the OS in which the code works using C #?

Question

I have a C # application that is expected to work in both WIn 7 and Win XP. I need to check OS NAME in my C # source code before distributing MSI and EXE to clients.

Without going into finer version control, my code wants to check if it is 32-bit WINDOWS XP or 64-bit WINDOWS 7.

May I get help regarding this.

The OS is seen as a 64-bit version of Win7 and a 32-bit version of Win XP.

Answer 1

You can get a friendly operating system name using WMI.

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT Caption FROM Win32_OperatingSystem");
String operatingSystem = String.Empty;

foreach (ManagementObject query in searcher.Get())
{
   operatingSystem = query["Caption"].ToString();
   break;
}

WMI Code Creator, Microsoft WMI.
