Computer information using COMate

[akj]

But if I include Droopy's lib it then starts getting complicated as I get messages relating to duplicated labels such as IID_Unknown:
Is there an easy way to supress such error messages?

EDIT:
I am now using the compiled version of Droopy's lib rather than the source and all is now OK.

Just a quick informational thing for the 'QFE_Info()' procedure. According to the MSDN, for the Win32_QuickFixEngineering WMI class;

For Windows Vista: Starting with Windows Vista, this class returns only the updates supplied by Component Based Servicing (CBS). These updates are not listed in the registry. Updates supplied by Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) or the Windows update site (http://update.microsoft.com) are not returned by the Win32_QuickFixEngineering class that i used in the 'QFE_Info()' procedure.

For Windows XP: instances of this class represent updates found in two places in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix

and....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates

Well it is a very nice code and super work.
But if i use it with Win XP SP3 every time it stops with a error messagerequester at the procedure "MB_Info". If i click ok than it shows a lote of more error messages.

With Vista it works very fine!

@nicolaus;

I'll take a look and see whats causing the MB_Info problem for ya on XP SP3. I might have included something that doesn't work on XP in that area. I'll have to find an XP machine to check it on and i'll get back with something a little later.

EDIT:

Well, everything seems to be working here OK. In the MB-Info procedure, put this debug line above the message requester and let me know what it says:

Code: Select all

Else
Debug COMate_GetLastErrorDescription()  ; <<<< put this
MessageRequester("Error", "MBInfo")

and add this too above the sysMB\Release() after the Wend

Wend
      MB\Release() ; <<<<<<< add this above the sysMB\Release() and see if the problem goes away 
      sysMB\Release() 
      
 

make sure your using the latest version of COMate also.

Nice work m8.
To save people from some time, I've added all the code parts into files, included all the needed pbi files and the Droopy libs.

Can be downloaded here:

Forgot to write that the Droop exe file copies both the x86 og 64 versions of the lib to your PB folder. You can't have BOTH there so delete the one you don't need.

Tried this with ComatePLUS, latest Droopy and PB4.51X86 on Win XPSP3 and gettting error :-

POLINK Error : Unresolved external symbol "VerLanguageNameA" and a similar error if compiled with unicode.

Any ideas on how to fix this error ?
