You should use the GetWindowsVersionEx function. It fills a TWindowsVersion record:

TWindowsVersion = record
  Major: Cardinal;             // Major version number
  Minor: Cardinal;             // Minor version number
  Build: Cardinal;             // Build number
  ServicePackMajor: Cardinal;  // Major version number of service pack
  ServicePackMinor: Cardinal;  // Minor version number of service pack
  NTPlatform: Boolean;         // True if an NT-based platform
  ProductType: Byte;           // Product type (see below)
  SuiteMask: Word;             // Product suites installed (see below)
end;

There are a lot of other related functions. See below 'System functions' at this page.
