I did come across that link earlier. I should have put it in the original question. Thanks!

+1 for teaching me how to query registry key in msbuild - this might come handy any time.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You could Exec this PowerShell line:

Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem | select Version

I hadn't considered running an Exec of PowerShell before. This looks very interesting. As it turns out, we recently implemented a custom MSBuild task that executes PowerShell scripts.

@Scott There's a lot more in this: try ServicePackMajorVersion instead of Version for example
