It seems Windows GetVersionEx function is what you want.

If you want to know only OS is linux/Windows, this will help you.

Code:
# include <stdio.h>

main ()
{
system("perl -e 'print $^O;'");

}

Returns linux if the machine is running with linux. 'MSWin32' for windows.

hiiiiiii
The method to acquire the OS name isn't platform-portable, and the C or C++ code is. This by itself will cause you endless problems.

Try using "system()" and a platform-specific call to get this information. After a failure you can try another way. But you will certainly not find a way to do this without regard to platform -- ironically enough.
