Invalid OSVersion results

Do I have to call a function before I can use OSVersion or OSVersionText?

I'm running an application on Windows 10 Pro, yet OSVersionText gives me "Windows 8 64bit (6.2.9200)".  winver.exe says "Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.286)".  mORMot is at 1.18.4847.

You shouldn't. It's retrieved inside initialization section of SynCommons.pas by call to RetrieveSystemInfo. You can debug there and look what is wrong.

There is no bug in SynCommons, but the project should link the metadata resource to include the Windows 10 flag.
Otherwise, Windows 10 is not detected and reported by the Windows API as Windows 8 - for compatibility purposes.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window … indows-8-1
It is a Microsoft/Windows feature!

For instance, use {$R Vista.res} as available in our repository.

Thanks ab.  That did the trick!

Was that mentioned anywhere in the mORMot docs?  Looks like I missed that...
