Update: For code that correctly detects Windows 8.1 and Windows 10,see 07000.

The code below still works fine for older versions of Windows,but it will report anything newer than Windows 8 as being Windows 8.

The “bitness” testing code shown at the bottom (to see if the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit still works,even on Windows 10.

以下代码将返回一个指示当前版本的Windows的字符串值。基本上，它所做的只是使用@L_404_0@从Windows获取系统版本号，然后将其与已知版本的Windows相匹配。

(请注意，有些事情没有完全检测到，例如，64位版本的Windows XP可能会报告为Server 2003.例如，确定用户是否运行Windows Vista或Server 2008的代码也没有被写的，但你可以采取这一点，根据需要进行调整。)

另外，如果您不需要定位Windows的最早版本，则可以通过传递OSVERSIONINFOEX structure来获取更多信息。我只是在C中写了这个代码，文档很容易理解。

确定主机OS是否是VB 6可执行文件的32位或64位有点棘手。原因是因为VB 6无法编译64位应用程序。您在VB 6中编写的所有内容将作为32位应用程序运行。而32位应用程序则在Windows Windows(WOW64)子系统中的64位版本的Windows上运行。他们将始终将当前版本的Windows报告为32位，因为这是他们看到的。

我们可以解决这个问题，最初假设主机操作系统是32位，并试图证明这一点。以下是一些示例代码：

Private Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" _
    (ByVal hModule As Long,ByVal lpProcName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetModuleHandle Lib "kernel32" _
    Alias "GetModuleHandleA" (ByVal lpModuleName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetCurrentProcess Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Private Declare Function IsWow64Process Lib "kernel32" _
    (ByVal hProc As Long,ByRef bWow64Process As Boolean) As Long

Public Function IsHost64Bit() As Boolean
    Dim handle As Long
    Dim is64Bit As Boolean

    ' Assume initially that this is not a WOW64 process
    is64Bit = False

    ' Then try to prove that wrong by attempting to load the
    ' IsWow64Process function dynamically
    handle = GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("kernel32"),"IsWow64Process")

    ' The function exists,so call it
    If handle <> 0 Then
        IsWow64Process GetCurrentProcess(),is64Bit
    End If

    ' Return the value
    IsHost64Bit = is64Bit
End Function
