The User Tool makes use of the Windows GetVersionEx call but only distinguishes between
Windows 95 Windows 2000 Windows XP Everything else is "Windows NT or NT Server". You may be able to do a "cmd /c ver" RUN PROCESS in a SET FIELDS action to get the value from the OS command line for comparison purposes?

OS The operating system of the machine on which a process is running. You can use this keyword to build workflow that executes conditionally based on the current operating system. Web applications do not support the $OS$ keyword; it will return NULL. VERSION The software version running on the client (active links) or server (filters and escalations). This keyword includes any applicable patch number. Note: The $VERSION$ keyword might not be interpreted correctly in workflow running on pre-5.0 UNIX user tool clients. Use the $OS$ keyword in qualifications to detect UNIX user tool clients. Regards Dave Morgan Dave, I am aware of the Version keyword and I do check for it. What I am trying to do is warn users who have Vista installed on their PC to upgrade to V7.0.1 if they are running V7.0.0 or earlier. I am wanting to include the word 'Vista' in the the message window, but how can I definitely tell that they are running Vista if the OS string is the same for Windows 2003 and Vista?
