I am writing a AutoIt program that needs to be compatiblewith both X86 and X64 versions of Windows Vista

As i don't have access to a 64Bit box i need some environment variables from X64 Vista operating systems

So X64 Users, Please download attached package below, run it and after that post the contents of the logfile in this topic

(logfile is created in the directory the program is run from)

thx,

Ok, I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

Logfile:

[systemInfo]

CPU Architecture=X64

SystemDir=C:\Windows\system32

OS version=WIN_VISTA

OS type=WIN32_NT

Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

What's an AutoIt program & what's it do?

Oh, & since 2 replies have the same results, I'm sure my 64 bit ultimate will be the same as well.

Thx guys,

Now i have 1 additional question, is what results one would get if a X86 OS is being used on X64 Processor Architecture PC?

Anyone can tell me results of such setup? (eg: Vista 32Bit on 64Bits PC)

@ButchN

It's a little program that should automate the installation/uninstallation of Vista OEM related information,eg: OEM logo's and oobe.xml file, together with the required registry entries to correctly display them.

On the page below you find a method using WinRar self-extractors, i have enhanced this so "brand" or custom logo can easily be made by changing settings in a ini file the program reads required information from.

Also includded is a uninstaller, that can be accessed from Vista's Add/Remove Software controlpanel.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=95062

Preview

  • This version only suports the X86 platform for now. (i think)
  • Only runs op Windows Vista OS
  • Build in checks (if the files exists etc.)
  • All file operations are completly hidden for user
  • Uninstaller is included (C:\Windows\System32\oobe\oem_uninst.exe)
  • Uninstaller can be started from Add/Remove Software controlpanel
  • All opperations are logged (C:\Windows\temp\oemlogo.log)
  • If errors occured, the program gives the user the opportunity to open the logfile automaticly to see what the problems are.
  • All Uninstall opperations are logged (C:\Windows\temp\oemlogo.log)

OEMLOGO.INI 

[Settings] 
OEMFilesPATH=[PATH] 
Manufacturer=[FULL VENDOR NAME] 
OEMName=[IMAGE PREFIX VENDOR NAME]

(Program with MEDION logo's included, can be easily replaced with your own.)

I read somewhere that Vista X64 redirects X86 processes to \Syswow64\ and uses a X64 emulator to "fake" a 64 bits process.

If you run above program on your X64 bits OS, are the oemlogos and oobe.xml copied to:

C:\Windows\System32\oobe\ or to C:\Windows\Syswow64\oobe\ ?

BTW, Are the Registry entries in place as well?

eg:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation, "Logo"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OEMInformation, "Manufacturer"

Or are registry entries handled differently on X64? (and where should they be?)

  Set ColItems = Wmi.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PnPEntity",,48)
  OutFile = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserProfile%\Desktop\HalInfo.txt")
  Set Ts = Fso.CreateTextFile(OutFile)
  Ts.writeline Var1 & Now() & vbCrLf &_

	For Each ObjItem in ColItems 
	 Ts.writeline Var2
