OEMWizard (System Properties Wrapper)

[James]

Hi all,

This script can add information about your computer to the system properties box:

• XP and below:
  • Logo
  • Manufacturer
  • Model
  • Support Information - 7 lines!
• Vista:
  • Logo
  • Support Hours
  • Telephone Number

Logos must be *.bmp however they are renamed to "oemlogo.bmp" anyway. The information is stored in oeminfo.ini found in the System(32) dir or in Vista everything is in the registry. Currently, SPW is not writing the information in Vista.

If you are running XP or below, then you will have a normal GUI (different height). If you are running Vista and have a premium or ultimate edition then you can get the Aero Glass effect!

Screenshot of new Vista GUI:

[snipped Code] - OEMWizard.au3

Thank you to:

Thanks to MHz who helped me with a function to add information about OEM Branding Wizard to the end of a *.ini! Thanks to Geo for the Vista System Properties guide and cutting fixing a possible error.

To-Do/Done/Bugs:

Bug: Vista support - All done!

Bug: Vista not writing information correctly - Pfft, stupid me!

Bug: Fix Temp OEM INI writing - Thanks Swift!

To-Do: Spelling

To-Do Optimize code by cutting it down- Loop maybe? - Current line count = 460

To-Do: Added Vista Aero Glass GUI

Updates:

Update 8-July-2008: I have added Vista Aero Glass to GUI, looking sexy! Fixed Vista Support although SPW is still not writing the data.

Hi all,

Mainly for Limiter but for you all to share. This script can add information about your computer to the systen properties box.

• You can add a logo
• Manufacturer
• Model
• Support Information

Logos must be *.bmp they are renamed to oemlogo.bmp anyway. The information is stored in oeminfo.ini found in the System(32) dir. I don't know if it works on Vista so you will have to remove the OS check to see if it does.

Thanks to MHz who helped me with a function to add information about OEM Branding Wizard to the end of a *.ini!

It won't work on Vista because Vista doesn' use the oeminfo.ini file but if you want to modify your code to make it change the Vista info then see this page for the registry info that will do it for you.

Nice work by the way.

[James]

Thanks George! Problem is I cannot try it as I don't and won't have Vista.

Thanks George! Problem is I cannot try it as I don't and won't have Vista.

It will work. All you have to do is detect if the OS is Vista and add some RegWrites in there to handle the information as shown on that page. I'm sure there are several Vista users on the forums that will test it for you.

Actually, since they have no effect in XP, you could just do the regwrites in XP to make sure they are created properly and then delete them after.

Good idea! I shall work on V1.2

I also forgot to change the picture when you change it :duh:

BTW, this line looks like it should fail.

If $OS = "WIN_XP" Or "WIN_2003" Or "WIN_NT4" Or "WIN_2000" Or "WIN_ME" Or "WIN_98" Or "WIN_95"

Edit: It should probably be

If $OS <> "WIN_VISTA"

Thanks for the note! I shall change it now and then post the new one with the Vista functions!

Has anyone got a link to a script which will display text in an input till clicked. I can't remember the name or the Author.

[Swift]

Nice Program James...But There Is Way Too Many Bugs For Me To Use It...I Can Name 2 Off The Top Of My Head... Would you like me to post them?

1) Pressing: Create temporary OEM Info~~Will: cause error:

Line 240
If Not $IniTest[1][1] = "" Then
If Not $IniTest^ERROR

Error: Subscript used with non-array Variable

2) Unchecking: Use Support Info~~Will: cause error:

Line 95

GUICtrlSetState($Suppost_Hours, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState(^ERROR

Error: Variable used without being declared

---All So Far.

[James]

Thanks Swift. Just noticed that I did my While Loop wrong as I do the norm. I shall look into your bugs.

The 2nd bug I fixed it was a wrong variable name

Bug 1 I need to take some code from the OEM save and copy it

[Swift]

Cool! Cant wait till your done!

[James]

The first bug is due to the the INI not existing as it checks it. I think I will "nick" MHz code for the about INI writing and do that

You can probably shorten up the code by using 2 new functions. The first to write the INI file if it's not Vista and the second to write the registry if it is Vista. Also the same controls that you used for non-Vista should be able to be re-used if the system is Vista, no need (that I can see) to create additional controls. It's mainly a matter of whether it should be written to an INI file or the registry. Also be carefull with the OEMLogo.bmp. There are image size restictions for that file and they vary somewhat between Windows versions.

There is lots of information about all of this available through Google.

[James]

Swift, fixed both bugs. Check first post!

George, good idea. I did set the resizing of the Vista logo, should work. I will see if your idea makes it better which it should!

I'm off for now but will work on it tomorrow. Keep the brilliant comments coming!

You still needing the link for the text till clicked element?

[James]

Thanks gseller!

I shall add it now!

[James]

Has anyone tried my script on Vista?

[LIMITER]

I created my oeminfo.ini from a website found on google ( it's not created with your app ) ...

Your app gives me an error :

>Running:(3.2.10.0):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "D:\de pe c\AutoIt\system.au3"

D:\de pe c\AutoIt\system.au3 (369) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

GUICtrlSetData($SupportInfo_Line3, ^ ERROR

->16:06:57 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

My oeminfo.ini :

[General]

Manufacturer=L|M|TER Corporation

[support Information]

Line1=© L|M|TER 2008

Line2=All Rights Reserved.

BTW ... Nice app ! Edited February 23, 2008 by LIMITER

[James]

Thanks for the feedback. I shall look into that now. Weird as it is only on the 3rd line of the INI??
