How to identify the WinPE OS name and version by coding

[MSDN_Leimo]

Hi all:
I'm using the WinPE 2.x OS, and I'm trying to get the WinPE OS name and
version by coding.
Currently I found I can only read the OS version of WinPE, (5.x), so it's
recognized as a Vista OS, not WinPE.

So is there any offical approach to detect in WinPE which identifies the OS
name and version as WinPE 2.x?

Thanks a lot!

Did you try GetVersionEx?

Cheers,

Wouldn't the fact that it's running off of X: be a big hint?
Obviously not perfect, but better than nothing.
