Does anyone know how the @CSD gets its information?

Normally you can query the Registry here and get the information.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

CSDVersion

I used to modify this entry so that I could test code before there was an @CSD macro. Now, using the macro if I modify the registry entry, it still knows that it is SP1 even though I have changed the value to something else.

DOC,

I was mildly interested in finding out if you got anywhere with tricking @CSD...

There's also 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Service Pack 3' and 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows 2000\SP3'

I am unable to find 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Service Pack 3' on any of my systems.

The other key is for POST Service Pack Q-article updates.

So far I have not found a method to trick @CSD and have not emailed Ruud about it either.
