Tom is right Steve, as long as you know you will only encounter Windows systems. If there is a chance of running on other platforms, you would first want to execute System osType. Here is a link to Microsoft version information that you may find useful. In particular, scroll down to the bottom of the page in this link and you will find a chart which documents the version info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724833(v=vs.85).aspx

In my case they are both 32 bit versions.
Not sure if it will work, but how about EsSystemInfo class>>#osVersion ?
