- Detecting MCE programmatically
- Posted by Janiv Ratson on November 13th, 2005
Hello,
How do I programmatically detect an MCE machine.
In my program I want to behave differently whether the machine is Standard
Windows XP or Windows Media Center 2005.
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.

GetSystemMetrics with SM_MEDIACENTER

What is it that you want to do and why?
It's usually better to detect (if possible) the presence of the
particular facility you want to make use of rather than a blanket
decision.

Hello Dave and thanks,
I have a service that runs differently on standard WinXP machine and Media
Center 2005 machine.
I want the appropriate behavior of my service according to the OS.
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.
