win version in Batch file

[adiMasher]

simply enough.

I have two processes, on for nt and the other for 9x. and I want a batch file or something equivelent to execute the appropriate command base upon which system it is running on.

I've tried a few things and they don't work on all levels of windows. so the question is

How do I determine the windows version inside a batch routine?

Thanks,

Hi,
you can use the %os% variable to check if your are running WinNT/2k or Win9x
or you can look at the resource Kit, there you find the tool "gettype.exe".
An other way is to check for a specific file for example if musrmgr.exe exists then you are running WinNT
