Useful Dll for Inno Setup users

[peterf1999]

So far I used a crap dll (get_hw_caps.dll) for hardware detection in Inno's script,
so I decided to make a own dll to solve this problem.

At this time the dll exports several Functions/Procedures,
of which the most useful for forum users are:


Prototype:
procedure GetSysInfo(var SysInfo: TSysInfo);

Description:
Returns extended information about the computer system as record through WMI interface:

Type

 end;

Here you go for usage example

Create a FreeArc archive with 'Data1.bin' name and then place it where compiled setup.exe is created.

Nice, Great. By the way what program did you use to create the dll. I currently use Delphi XE3 and I get errors and I don't know what to do. I can only pass strings as PAnsiChar and Integers and cannot Pass Int64. I tried Lararus and same thing. so what program?

The last version was compiled with XE5, however XE3 works as well.

Only the latest UNICODE versions (v5.5.3 or later) of Inno Setup can handle 64 bit integers.

• Added JoinFile function to dll.

[peterf1999]

Changes:

• Renamed 'CheckFileSHA1' function to 'CheckFileHash'.
• function prototype changes.
• Added support for MD5, SHA256(SHA-2) hash algorithms.

const
  DCP_MD5 = 1;
  DCP_SHA1 = 2;
  DCP_SHA256 = 4; // SHA-2

Type
THashProgress = function(OverallProgress,FileProgress: Integer): Boolean;

function CheckFileHash(const Filename,HashHex: PAnsichar; PctOfTotal: integer; callback: THashProgress; DCP_Hash: integer): integer; external 'CheckFileHash@files:Isab.dll stdcall delayload';

Function return codes:

0: All OK.
-1: Hash check aborted.
-2: File hash does not match.
-3: Source File not found.
-4: Bad flag argument.
