Ok, then I'll use this code snippet to output the batch file:
std::string const arg_list = is_Win2000_or_later() ?
"%~1 %~2 %~3 %~4 %~5 %~6 %~7 %~8 %~9" :
"%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9";
where is_Win2000_or_later() is drawn from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/verifying_the_system_version.asp
bool is_Win2000_or_later()
{
OSVERSIONINFOEX OS_version;
DWORDLONG condition_mask = 0;
// Initialize the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure.
ZeroMemory(&OS_version, sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX));
OS_version.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX);
OS_version.dwMajorVersion = 5;
OS_version.dwMinorVersion = 0;
OS_version.wServicePackMajor = 0;
// Initialize the condition mask.
VER_SET_CONDITION(condition_mask, VER_MAJORVERSION, VER_GREATER_EQUAL);
VER_SET_CONDITION(condition_mask, VER_MINORVERSION, VER_GREATER_EQUAL);
VER_SET_CONDITION(condition_mask, VER_SERVICEPACKMAJOR, VER_GREATER_EQUAL);
// Perform the test.
return VerifyVersionInfo(
&OS_version,
VER_MAJORVERSION | VER_MINORVERSION | VER_SERVICEPACKMAJOR,
condition_mask);
}
Thanks for all your help.
