Hi, I my application i need to detect os therefore, i tried to get os name in java through following statement: System.getProperty("os.name"); but i am getting wrong name "windows vista". Instead it should give Windows 7. Please help!!

Hi, Do not know if you have installed the latest version of Java SDK, this is a known bug and was fixed since 1.4.2_21. System.getProperty("os.name") reports Vista on Windows 7http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6819886 In previous version, the os.name system property still returns Windows Vista. The version number is set to 6.1 however, so you can check for that and windows vista together to determine if it is windows 7.
