Targetting your application four windows getVersionEx

[TouEnMasm]

Hello,
With Windows 10 the getversionEx don't work without following this MSDN article:
"Targetting your application four windows "
Thefunction need a manifest to work.
It's what i do in this vc++ project and it work.
But ....
Try the same thing with masm(jwasm) and he don't work,Why !!!!!!!!

[dedndave]

there is no manifest in this console-mode program

http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=4653.msg50128#msg50128

[TouEnMasm]

and here is what he return on Windows 10

〱.0
Press any key to continue ...

Let me know if there is a getversionEx sample who return 10.0
I WANT IT (dead or alive) !!!!!!!!

There isn't. You have to use the right API:

NetWkstaGetInfo returns         JOHN runs OS version 10.0

[dedndave]

try this program Yves
no manifest, no compatibilty mode, no UAC

Thanks for your help
But all methods (except wmi) don't get as many information as OSVERSIONINFOEX.
Another question is:
Is my prog in masm less compatible with other system if the manifest don't work.The annoying question is here.

I dont see difference

HI, TOUTENMASM,
GetVersionEx, is officially deprecated starting in Windows Operating System 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.
Microsoft recommends that for Operating Systems, 8.1 and higher, you use: Version Helper Functions, MSDN
...I know that you are familiar with WMI:  Win32_OperatingSystem Class, MSDN

[TouEnMasm]

deprecated but can work with c++ adding a manifest.

I have done it it work

[dedndave]

that's not the same as your manifest
yours has a "IA64" line in it that doesn't make sense for 32-bit code

...Hhhmmm,...
I wonder why Microsoft is making it so difficult just to get accurate Operating System information,...
...It doesn't make sense,...assembly programmers are disgruntled,... ::)

Looks like : meanwhile system difficult itself - dependences check like in nix-systems package manager appearing, in analogue susbsystem like manifests - means this dependences itself is manifests.
