Code for getting the Hardware Configuration of a PC using Visual Basic 6

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20680011/System-info-Hardware-Devices.html?query=hardware+info&topics=93#8933523

I have the following code-

For OS I am using -
RegRead(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion", "RegisteredOwner", "")

For the CPU I am getting -
RegRead(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0", "VendorIdentifier", "")

What should I use for the Motherbord, chipset, processor type and the monitor manufacturer

Can you please help?
With regards
Chaitali

For yor motherbord:

Try this

From http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/wmi/wmiprocessor.htm


Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call wmiBaseBoardInfo

End Sub
Private Sub wmiBaseBoardInfo()

   Dim BaseBoardSet
   Dim bb
   
   Set BaseBoardSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}"). _
                                 InstancesOf("Win32_BaseBoard")
     
   On Local Error Resume Next
   
   For Each bb In BaseBoardSet
   
      Debug.Print bb.Product
      Debug.Print bb.Manufacturer

Thanks I am going through the code and will get back as soon as possible

Thank you its working when I am keying in the computer name. I would be running this on a standalone machine and the system requires to detect the computer name from the system

How do I do that ?

Can you please help with the passing of the computer name on which this system will be executed?
Unless my code detects the computer name and starts executing the rest of code I am in a fix

Regards

Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

I have used -

  Set BaseBoardSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}"). _
                                 InstancesOf("Win32_BaseBoard")

in my code to get the hardware details and the exe is running fine on Windows2000 and XP. But when I am running this exe on a Windows 98 machine I am getting the following error -


File name or class name not found during Automation operation 432 Project1 error

When I am loading this application in Win98 there is a sharing violation for the file msvcrt.dll but i have managed to copy the file by booting in DOS.

Please can you suggest how can I get this code to work in Windows98 as its working in Win2000 and XP-

The code follows-
