Computer and Processor Information C++ Program

Description

This C++ program is designed to retrieve and display specific information about the system it runs on. The main features of the program include:

1. Retrieve Computer Name: The program uses the GetComputerNameExA function to obtain the computer's NetBIOS name.

2. Dynamic Memory Allocation: It allocates memory dynamically to store the computer name. If memory allocation fails, it logs an error message to sysError.txt.

3. Retrieve Processor Information: The program uses the GetSystemInfo function to gather details about the processor, including its architecture and type.

4. Output Information: The program writes the computer name and processor details to a file named sysInfo.txt.

5. Error Handling: Any issues with memory allocation are recorded in sysError.txt.

Files Generated

• sysInfo.txt: Contains the computer name and processor information.
• sysError.txt: Contains an error message if memory allocation fails.

TODO:

1. Retrieve Installed Memory : Implement the GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory function.
2. Get Timezone Information : Implement GetTimeZoneInformation function in the timezoneapi.h.

Usage

• Build: Compile the program using a compatible C++ compiler with Windows API support.
• Run: Execute the compiled program to generate the output files.

This program is intended for use on Windows systems due to its reliance on Windows-specific API functions.
