Do a set fields where you set a field to: $PROCESS$ cmd /C ver
The process will likely return a blank line at the beginning, so you might need to address that. Whenever you do a set fields with it, you might not see the value it returns if the blank line is there, just expand your field so you can see more than one line. You can also set a temp field to the result of this, then set the main field to a REPLACE of the temp field, as you cannot do a REPLACE directly against a $PROCESS$.

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?
