HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Value Name: CSDVersion
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: Service Pack #
Service Pack # will be Service Pack 2 if SP2 is installed. Service Pack 1
for SP1. I do not know what you have if no Service Pack is installed.
How to tell if SP2 is installed.
Start | Run | Type: winver | Click OK
If it says Service Pack 1, you do not have SP2.
If it says Service Pack 2, you have SP2.
Windows Security Center (wscui.cpl) will exist.
Start | Run | Type: wscui.cpl | Click OK |
Windows Security Center will open if SP2, you'll get an error if not SP2.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be listed in Add or Remove Programs, unless
XP was installed with SP2.
$NtServicePackUninstall$ will be in %windir% or C:\WINDOWS (There may be one
of these folders that relates to SP1). $NtServicePackUninstall$ will not
exist if XP was installed with SP2.

Hi,
I just installed a new VPN solution for my company. As a security
precaution, I'd like to have it check for the presence of sp2 before
allowing users login to the network. Does anyone know what's a reliable
way to detect wheather sp2 is installed on a windows XP system? What
registry key does it use?
Thanks.
