How to tell if SP4 is applied to Windows 2000 1

[wlfpackr]

Hi all,

I'm writing a batch file to install a Windows patch on our company systems. This patch will only work on Windows 2000 if SP4 is applied. How can I check from within the batch program to see if SP4 has been installed? Is there a specific file that is unique to SP4?

I found this a while ago online, it will print the Service Pack, you will have to add the if statements to do what you want with it.

@echo off

SET SP=

START /WAIT REGEDIT.EXE /E "%Temp%.\%~n0.dat" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%A IN ('TYPE "%Temp%.\%~n0.dat" ^| FIND /I "CSDVersion"') DO SET SP=%%~A

ECHO.%SP% | FIND /I "Service Pack" >NUL

echo %SP%

pause

Okay. I'm so close yet so far away. I'm using the following IF statement (combined with the above script) to skip down to another section if the user does not have SP4. However, it's not working. Can anyone tell me why? The %sp% value prints Service Pack 4 to the screen using the script rye provided.

IF NOT ("Service Pack 4")==(%SP%) Goto NOSP

Nevermind. I just needed quotation marks around the %sp% variable.

Ummm... You can also right click on My Computer then read
the System information tab that pops up. The service pack
info shows up right under the winders version info.

Microsoft Windows 2000
5.00.1295
Service Pack x

Or run winmsd from the command prompt.
