But kernel32.dll (since it's of a different version) isn't accurate at all right? To find the accurate result we have to use the CurrentBuildNumber registry key. I think this key will not be removed so easily by Microsoft. This key have been in existence from NT 3.5 till today. I think it's the safest and reliable way to get the version number other than WMI query. I know the key can be removed in the future but if it that happens what about reimplementing the kernel32.dll then. We need a way to get the accurate version right?
