Use the GetWindowsVersion function (see the manual).

Hmmm... I did understand... Just to clarify:

Right-clicking on a shortcut, on the Properties dialog click the "Advanced..." button, and there has a checkbox called "Run in separate memory space". He wants to check this checkbox when installing.

But it is the default of all icons (in Win XP Home Edition), why would you want to do it if they come with this option checked?

This is only a feature for legacy 16-bit applications, to improve stabilty. For all normal application you can't use this setting.

"Shortcut properties" may also be stored in the registry, please search the registry for the application filename, maybe you'll find it there.

Maybe you can include the .lnk file in your installer.
