Is there any decent doc/samples for gathering machine profile info??

Hi all,

As subject really....I'm looking at providing custom stats on downloads and user configs, but have been unable to find much information or samples...can anyone point me in the right direction??

Cheers,
Jay

Hi Jay,

I found the following item using VB to set profile data:
http://helpnet.installshield.com/Robo/BIN/Robo.dll?mgr=agm&tpc=%2Frobo%2Fprojects%2Fdwusagent%2FOverview.htm&wnd=InstallShieldLivingHelp%7CMain&agt=wsm&ctxid=setup.asp
The ProfileAdd() method will let you create your own profile collection...

I'm a bit swamped at the moment, but I'm going to try to dig out some sample code used for collecting profile data today or tomorrow.

Regards,
KellyF

I am attaching the VB source code for an app we use in QA for testing the profile APIs. It's not pretty but it works :). Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Thanks for the info folks, much appreciated.
Things are a bit unclear at the minute about what we're going to do with ISUS...but I'll definitely get a proper look if i ever get the chance 😄

Thanks again,
Jay
