I'm so glad I found this site! Thanks ahead of time for your help.
I'm looking to get the ver command to work in a batch file.
I have tried %ver% and a few others but it's not working like %date% does.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

What are you trying to do with it?

I'm trying to run some commands that are OS specific (netsh firewall commands for 2003 and 2008) and I need to do some logic ahead of time to determine what my OS is. I will be using this file on other OSes (win7) at a later date so I need to set up the logic correctly now.
Thanks!

I found what I was looking for through a co-worker. Just for future reference and to help others here was my solution.
%echo_cmd% ver | findstr -c:" 5.1." > NUL: && set OSVER=WINXP
%echo_cmd% ver | findstr -c:" 5.2." > NUL: && set OSVER=WIN2K3
%echo_cmd% ver | findstr -c:" 6.0." > NUL: && set OSVER=WIN2K8
Good luck!
