Reliable way to get Windows Version from registry

Question

I\'m checking the windows version in an installer (made with NSIS) by checking the following registry key:

HKLM \"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVer         


        

Answer 1

Try

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ReleaseId

Which gives me 10 and 1709.
