    How to make visual basic return system information?

    for a project, im making a system that will tell users what software their computer can use when compared with a list of known software specifications, but id like to know if VB6 can be coded to shows the user what their processor is, its clock speed, the amount of RAM, and avaliable hard drive space etc. currently i am working around the problem by using a command button to launch Dxdiag and letting the user input specs manually

    'With this script and the WScript host, you can query
    'information about a user's PC. Wrap this code in
    'a function and work from user input by iterating the
    'wscript.argume nts collection. For more info about a
    'computer, query the win32_ComputerS ystem.


    ''force explicit variable declaration
    option explicit

    ''declare variables
    dim compStr, wmiObj, settingsColl, procObj

    ''set the computer to query
    compStr= "."

    ''instantiate the WMI object
    set wmiObj = GetObject("winm gmts:{impersona tionLevel=imper sonate}!\\" & compStr & "\root\cimv 2")

    ''query the computer's processor info
    set settingsColl= wmiObj.ExecQuer y ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor ")

    ''iterate the processors to display info
    for each procObj in settingsColl
    Wscript.Echo "System Type: " & procObj.Archite cture
    Wscript.Echo "Processor: " & procObj.Descrip tion
    next
