Awesome tiny app^^ btw, how do you figure out what brandsname is in the bios? For exampe, dell seems to have several and Compaq doesnt have compaq right? Its HPQOEM..
It uses: Code: "SELECT * FROM Win32_BIOS" (version) When versions have same OEMID, to find correct string it uses: Code: "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem" (model,manufacturer) "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct" (name,vendor)
Biosversions which share the same OEMID will auto detect the corresponding brand. ie: ACRSYS ACRSYS(EMACHINES) ACRSYS(GATEWAY) DELL(INSPIRON) DELL(VOSTRO) DELL(XPS) DELL HPQOEM(COMPAQ) HPQOEM LENOVO LENOVO(IBM) LENOVO(THINKPAD) TRIGEM TRIGEM(AVERATEC) etc........
UPDATE Changelog 0.5: Advanced version string detector Added Help/Info menu Added Dump Biosversion Added Get Biosversion
Thank you, I was looking for such a tool for the past few hours! Can you explain the differences in the new commandline switches? They all just seem to return "DELL" on my laptop and do not show anything else. They seem to do the same thing? Also, could you provide further details to the OOBE.CMD you provide? I know how to insert this, but would I just need to use a few XCOPY lines in order to copy the correct manufacturer's cert, insert key, and copy proper wallpapers? Do you have a sample?
