Gary writes "Where in the registry or master database can I find the version for SQL Server 64-bit. I have seen your article about version but it does not mention 64-bit. When I do the select @@version
I retrieve
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel IA-64) Feb 6 2003 16:07:24 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )

The problem with this is that the Intel IA-64 is labeled as the platform which is accurate but it does not tell be the version of SQL Server. Farther down there is the copyright that says it but I would need to parse through the copyright to programmatically see this. The version 8.00.760 is for sql 2000 sp3.

So my question is what can I look at in the registry or master databases to see the version?

Thanks
Gary"
