Reading Windows System Properties

Post by sosterbauer » Tue Nov 11, 2008 7:32 pm

I need to write a small app which will read the RAM, hard drive size, and installed applications on windows systems, and write the data to a MySQL database. I can do the MySQL part, but can Runtime Revolution read Windows system properties like these? I've searched all terms I can think of on these forums, and all I can find is how to read the NIC card on a Mac. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi,

some things can be done directly from within rev, for others you might look at shell and queryRegistry

You might want to look at the volumes, the diskspace in the dictionary and click on related links there.

Hope that helps,

Malte
