How can know the true Windows version, even if compatibility is forced
under XP (using the 'Properties|ompatibility' tab)?

TIA.

I don't think you can.  The whole point of that mode is to trick the process
into thinking that it is running under a different version.  All API
functions act as they would under the specified version, including
GetVersion/Ex().  Your only option is if the XP version is stored somewhere
else, such as in a file or in the Registry.

Yes, that is the point: where that information is stored.
Somebody knows?

TIA.

Somewhere below HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version?

I don't know if this will help but it's worth a look.
