<DIV>That was a hint in the right direction – this program is started from
another program and that program (for whatever reason on this PC) was set in
compatibility mode Windows XP.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So why the child program also thought it was running under Windows XP is
more or less sensible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However (because this is being used for logging) we are more interested in
the actual OS version installed, or actual and the compatibility version if they
are different. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The code being called is Delphi stock standard TOSVersion which gets
told the compatibility version rather than the real version.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there a way to get both the OS version (installed) and compatibility
mode (effective Windows version)?</DIV>
