Question: I have a little command script that adds a couple of entries the hosts file so that remote folks can access our (unpublished) outside IP address and be redirected to an inside web server by our firewall. I need to update the script for Vista. This script evaluates the output of the ver command to determine which windows version it is running on, and in turn sets a variable for the location of the hosts file. Since we don't have Vista on our network yet, I need to ask you knowledgeable experts a couple of simple questions:

1) What is the exact output of the ver command in Vista business and home versions?
2) What is the exact location of the hosts file in Vista?
