I am using Install Shield 5.5. I would like to know whether is it possible to know the total memory (RAM) of the system using API of install shield? If yes, please let me know how can we do that?
Thanks for help,
Nayan
Michael is right. You should use a newer tool as that’s got to be about 15 years old now.
InstallScript has/had a SysInfo function but I doubt it works today. You could possibly declare external DLL functions using prototype and UseDLL() calls to work directly with the Win32 API and/or WMI classes to get the information but why bother?
Just upgrade to something that uses Windows Installer ( InstallShield or WiX ) and use the PhysicalMemory property to get the amount of RAM on the machine.
