Windows OS contain special API for OS version detecting.
With this plugin you are able to determine which version of windows you are running. Technically it is using the GetVersionEx() method from the "kernel32.dll".
But standard NSIS 2 pack not use this.
 
My special plugin "Version.dll" use OS API (function GetVersionEx() from "kernel32.dll") for OS version detecting.
 
Plugin contain function:
*GetWindowsVersion (get major, minor version, build number, platform id, service pack name);
*simply OS detect function (IsWindows31, IsWindows95, IsWindows98, IsWindowsME, IsWindowsNT351, IsWindowsNT40, IsWindows2000, IsWindowsXP, IsWindows2003);
*simply OS platform detect function (IsWindowsPlatformNT, IsWindowsPlatform9x);
*simply "good" OS detect function (IsWindows98orLater);


Size of plugin "version.dll" is 6144 bytes
'''Features:'''
*check for a specific windows version:
**IsWindows95
**IsWindows98
**IsWindowsME
**IsWindowsNT351
**IsWindowsNT40
**IsWindows2000
**IsWindowsXP
**IsWindowsServer2003
**IsWindowsXPx64
**IsWindowsVista

*Call 'GetWindowsVersion' to get all relevant windows versioning infos:
**major version
**minor version
**build number
**platform id
**service pack name
**product type
*Call platform methods to detect the windows platform type:
**IsWindowsPlatformNT
**IsWindowsPlatform9x
