Hi Steve,
What I'm trying to do is this:
We want to use a system management software that calls GetVersionEx() to
find out whether an OS update is necessary or not. I already asked the
application developers if it is possible to use another API (currently, to
report my own version information I am using IOCTL_HAL_GET_DEVICE_INFO ioctl)
however I haven't received a response yet. Therefore I decided to investigate
whether changing GetVersionEx() and/or OSVERSIONINFO is possible or not.
Since it looks like this API is not meant to be modified, I think I will
stick with GET_DEVICE_INFO and try to force the application writers to alter
their code :) Please let me know if there is an alternative or preferred
method for OEMs to report their own version information. Thanks a lot for the
help,
Kursad
