I am no longer maintaining this plug-in. I recommend using WinVer.nsh instead, which is bundled with NSIS.

Windows 8 or above detection

  • If using NSIS 3.0 or above, use the ManifestSupportedOS installer attribute and the bundled WinVer.nsh
  • If using NSIS 2.46 or below, use !packhdr to embed additional supported OS GUIDs and an updated WinVer.nsh

Description

A plugin that gets Windows version information (name, type, version, server name, service pack, service pack build).
