Hard Drive, BIOS and CPU serial number in VC++ 6.0?

[Freddie Code]

In VB 6.0 I use the following code to get the hard drive serial number. Is there an equivalent method in VC++ 6.0? How about a way to get the BIOS or CPU serial number? Could not find it in the help menu. A code snip would be really helpful. Thanks! Sub ShowDriveInfo(drvpath) Dim fs, d, s, t Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set d = fs.GetDrive(fs.GetDriveName(fs.GetAbsolutePathName(drvpath))) Select Case d.DriveType Case 0: t = "Unknown" Case 1: t = "Removable" Case 2: t = "Fixed" Case 3: t = "Network" Case 4: t = "CD-ROM" Case 5: t = "RAM Disk" End Select s = "Drive " & d.DriveLetter & ": - " & t s = s & vbCrLf & "SN: " & d.SerialNumber MsgBox s End Sub

You can use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) SDK for all H/W information you need. Use Win32_Processor,etc Classes. Regards, Darshan Jani
