Is there an interp开发者_运维百科reter that can give output of windows api calls such as GetVersionEx ?

---

Not sure if that's what you want/need, but I'd say Python with with pywin32 module.

Ruby may also be a possibility. The following is an example that shows the results of a call to GetVersionEx.

require "Win32API"

gvex = Win32API.new( 'kernel32', 'GetVersionEx', ['P'], 'I' )
s = [20+128, 0, 0, 0, 0, '' ].pack('LLLLLa128')
gvex.call( s );
a = s.unpack( 'LLLLLa128' )
puts "gvex: ", a

This example just passes 148 bytes (the size of the OSVERSION structure) rather than the entire OSVERSIONEX structure.

Information like version and other data from the operating system can also be obtained using WMI.

Here's a VBScript example, no need to compile anything:

strComputer = "." 
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ 
 & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") 

Set colOSes = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem") 
For Each objOS in colOSes 
  Wscript.Echo "Computer Name: " & objOS.CSName 
  Wscript.Echo "Caption: " & objOS.Caption 'Name 
  Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objOS.Version 'Version & build 
  Wscript.Echo "Build Number: " & objOS.BuildNumber 'Build 
  Wscript.Echo "Build Type: " & objOS.BuildType 
  Wscript.Echo "OS Type: " & objOS.OSType 
  Wscript.Echo "Other Type Description: " & objOS.OtherTypeDescription 
  WScript.Echo "Service Pack: " & objOS.ServicePackMajorVersion & "." & _ 
   objOS.ServicePackMinorVersion
