SUMMARY
The Win32 API calls which return the operating system version number do not
distinguish between Windows NT Server and Windows NT Server Enterprise
Edition. To determine whether the host machine is running Windows NT Server
Enterprise Edition, check the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
ProductOptions\ProductSuite
"ProductSuite" is stored as type REG_MULTI_SZ, and contains the string
"Enterprise" if Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition is installed.
