To see the version of Windows 95, right-click on My Computer and
choose Properties. (For more details, see document 158238 in the
Microsoft KnowledgeBase.)

Service Pack 1 changed the Windows 95 version from 950 to 950A.

There has been no Service Pack 2. In August 1996, Microsoft
distributed Service Release 2 (not Service Pack 2) to manufacturers,
and this changed the version to 950B. OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) is
so designated because it was sent to Original Equipment Manufacturers.
OSR2.1 is OSR2 plus support for the Universal Serial Bus.

OSR2.5 is version 950C of Windows 95, which has an integrated
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 Setup, and updated online services
clients. OSR2.5 allows PC manufacturers to install an integrated
Windows 95 that contains the latest available updates.

tnx for the anwser

i have found a few versions on our MSDN disks

what i notice is that the files in the 95b version r dated newer than
those in 95c(including the files in the cab archives, after install 95b
shows higher versions on some DLLs than 95b)

so i need actually to find which was the last 95 version send to MSDN
subscribers(becouse one of our apps has to support "the latest version
of Win 95", w/o coping dozens of updates)
