BIOS Info

[krussell1711]

Hi All,
I need to get specific hardware info from the bios like motherboard, chasis, chipset, bus, etc.

Other than wmi, is there a way for me to retrieve this information? If it is in the registry, let me know where to look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a guess, use regedit to browse through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE to see if what you're interested in is stored there.

As far as I know it's impossible to obtain BIOS info by an ordinal process in Win NT+ family. Probably you need to add your own driver-level code (it's a rather hard task) or try use third-party routines/components...

Thanks.
ArkM, do you know of any third party routines or components that I could use?

Thanks again.
