I use this variable to stop installs intended for Win 9x PC in
case they accidentally run on NT Workstations. 

Dana Daugherty posts this SMS Installer
script. It keeps Windows 9x installations from installing on
Windows NT workstations.

In my get system information into variable statement I specified
service pack number.  In this case if OS = 0 then that system
is not NT. In my site if it’s not NT then it’s Win 9x. It will only
go into my IF Then installation loop if it = 0.

Take a look.
