Is there a way copy and paste the text information in winver.exe?

Question

I'm reporting a software error with the platform information which is provided in in Winver.exe.

But I can't highlight the text and copy it (this is in Windows XP SP2).

Is there a registry key or somewhere else I can grab the build info?
I've tried PsInfo from Sysinternals but it doesn't provide all the build and sp info.

Solution

If you just want the OS info, you can run all sorts of commands from the command line: WMIC has many :

WMIC OS Get Name

Returns:

Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise |C:\Windows|\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2

You can also use

wmic OS get /? 

to get all your choices for that WMIC class.

systeminfo | Findstr /i "OS"

Will get you:

Host Name: MYCOMPUTERNAME OS Name:
Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation OS Configuration: Member Workstation OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free BIOS Version: Dell Inc. A08, 10/18/2011 [04]: Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter

You can then either pipe this to text, or copy from the command line as I did above.

Another attempt to get the what appears to be service pack information:

Run:

wmic os get * /value > C:\WMICOS.txt

the search that file for the string you want.

All of these provide some of the info, but not all. In XP there is a specific term after the build# ending in _rtm.040803-2158 that is not in any of the above. Thanks for the info, though, learnt something new.

@MandoMando added another suggestion to the end

@MandoMando: The build number's what's really important. The build date and time (i.e. August 3, 2004 @ 9:58PM) should be same for all copies of the SP2 RTM release, so unless you have some sort of leaked release there's no point bothering too much about it.

Lol and winver executed from the command line logs nothing but opens a gui dialog..... Now why oh why dear MS would we be executing the command from the command line if we didn't want the output to go there as well?
