This may not be the best way, but it works.
Code: Select all
for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%a in ('ver') do set winver=%%a
if "%winver%"=="Version 5.1.2600" (
echo.This is Windows XP
) else (
echo.This is another version of windows.
)

ver|findstr /c:"5.1.2600" && echo.windows xp || echo.not XP

Another way is to read the registry keys.
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%a in ('reg Query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"') do (
if /i "%%a"=="CurrentBuildNumber" set "build=%%c"
if /i "%%a"=="CurrentVersion" set "version=%%c"
if /i "%%a"=="ProductName" set "name=%%c"
)
echo %build%
echo %version%
echo %name%
pause
Mostly %version% would be good enough for determining.
