Detailed Description

Windows detector core class.

This class does all hardware/software detection on Windows platform. It contains methods to detect OS, memory, drives, network and installed software. All output is saved into XMLOutputFile which can then be written to any output stream.
It uses WMI to detect some of the features, so it will work only on Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer.
Tested on:

• Windows 2000 without Service Pack
• Windows XP 32 bit without Service Pack
• Windows XP 32 bit SP 2.0
• Windows Vista 32-Bit CTP build 5270

stream

)

const [virtual]

Write generated output to the stream.

Parameters:

stream

Stream to which output file should be written.

Returns:

true on success, false otherwise.

Implements hwdet::Detector.
