Hi, DAVE,
I was reading the code, in, OSinfo23.asm (DednDave OS Info Dump - Version 2.03),...and, I thought this might help:
Version Helper Functions, MSDN

GetVersionEx, is officially deprecated starting in version 8.1. You CANNOT get accurate version information in a way that works in both Windows 7 and Windows 8. In Windows 8.1, GetVersionEx returns 6.2.9200, which is the version number for Windows 8.0.

...As you know,...I am a huge WMI fan. But, then,...as you also know,...I'm definitely crazy: Win32_OperatingSystem Class, MSDN

...Also, here are a couple of interesting articles:
Overcoming Windows 8.1's Deprecation of GetVersionEx and GetVersion APIs, Part One, CodeProject
Overcoming Windows 8.1's Deprecation of GetVersionEx and GetVersion APIs, Part Two, CodeProject

Can I have some tests for the attached exe? Sample output:

JOCHEN-WXP runs OS version 5.1
JOCHEN-W7-64 runs OS version 6.1
JOCHEN-W8.1 runs OS version 6.3

This is the source:

include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc      ; download
uselib netapi32
wsi MACRO arg
  exitm @CatStr(<[edi.WKSTA_INFO_100].wki100_>, <arg>)
ENDM
  Init
  PrintLine "Environment variable OS  ", Tb$, ExpandEnv$("%OS%")
  PrintLine "Return value from DOS 'ver'", Tb$, Trim$(Launch$("cmd.exe /C ver"))
  push eax
  invoke NetWkstaGetInfo, 0, 100, esp
  pop edi
  wInkey "NetWkstaGetInfo returns   ", wTb$, wsi(computername), wStr$(" runs OS version %i.", wsi(ver_major)), Str$(wsi(ver_minor)) 
  invoke NetApiBufferFree, edi
  Exit

right, Zen - i was aware of that little issue
but, i guess you want to start with the old stuff, then work toward newer OS's   :t

here are the results from Jochens GetVersion for XP MCE 2005 SP3, which probably doesn't help - lol

that's nice, sinsi - windows 10 returns the "edition string" - one of the goals of my little project

this little program should get the correct minor version number for windows 8.1
it uses RtlGetVersion....

So they knew about Win 8.1 15 years ago?  ::)
VersionHelpers.h should be interesting - this is inlined stuff for C compilers, not built-in functions.
OTOH, from community additions:

As of Windows 10 build 10041, this lies

6.3

jj2007's GetVersionInfo, posted above, agrees, so apparently 8.1 = 6.3! Microsoft needs to hire better arithmeticians
