Description
the standard GetVersionEx returns always windows8 without a manifest.
Probably should we use this implementation
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37700605/getting-windows-os-version-programmatically
BOOL GetTrueWindowsVersion(OSVERSIONINFOEX* pOSversion)
{
// Function pointer to driver function
NTSTATUS (WINAPI *pRtlGetVersion)(
PRTL_OSVERSIONINFOW lpVersionInformation) = NULL;
// load the System-DLL
HINSTANCE hNTdllDll = LoadLibrary("ntdll.dll");
// successfully loaded?
if (hNTdllDll != NULL)
{
// get the function pointer to RtlGetVersion
pRtlGetVersion = (NTSTATUS (WINAPI *)(PRTL_OSVERSIONINFOW))
GetProcAddress (hNTdllDll, "RtlGetVersion");
// if successfull then read the function
if (pRtlGetVersion != NULL)
pRtlGetVersion((PRTL_OSVERSIONINFOW)pOSversion);
// free the library
FreeLibrary(hNTdllDll);
} // if (hNTdllDll != NULL)
// if function failed, use fallback to old version
if (pRtlGetVersion == NULL)
GetVersionEx((OSVERSIONINFO*)pOSversion);
// always true ...
return (TRUE);
} // GetTrueWindowsVersion
that gives the correct version
