Does anybody know a way to detect the different flavors of Windows Vista? I need to install a SideShow driver, but home basic does not support sideshow. therefore i need to prevent the driver from being installed for that situation. I have not found anything in the knowledgebase/installsite/, and msi documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EditionID.

Unfortunately there don't seem to be predefined operating system properties to detect all the flavors of Vista. You could call a Windows API, see documentation about OSVERSIONINFOEX.
