How to check if Windows is embedded or POS?

I am developing a program that I do not want to be installed on embedded versions of windows. Is there an API call I can make or some standard way of detecting if the current windows version is embedded/pos?

Have a look at the Windows Management Instrumentation classes. In particular, you should be able to get what you want from the Win32_OperatingSystem class object and its various member elements. It provides a bit more information than the OSVERSIONINFOEX structure.

Maybe, this helps. You have to use the OSVERSIONINFOEX struct and check the wSuiteMask member...
