 Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2005 2:43 pm Post subject: Systeminfo.dll Help |
 |
|
Hi
Im just getting started in the VDS language after using several others. I am trying to use systeminfo.dll in my program but keep hitting the same error everytime I try to use the @SYSTEMINFO command, "Error in external command or function"
What is the correct syntax for using this dll and is it compatible with VDS 5?
Thanks in advance

Hippo, if you are using VDS 5, add these two lines to the top of your script to let VDS know which functions you wish to use... 
| Code: | | #define function,systeminfo |
Also, it could be possible that the DLL is not compatible with VDS 5, but first try adding the line above to your script...

That was my first impression, I hoped I wasnt right
Is there any other dll that can provide some of the functions? Principally the CPUID stuff. |

Yeah, that dll is seriously old and not compatible with VDS 5. In fact,
most the information gathered by that dll can now be done directly in
VDS 5. You can scrounge through the registry for most of the info.
