windows - Retrieve manufacturer information from device that AIR app is running on -

does know of way retrieve information manufacturer/model of device air app running on. capabilities class doesn't seem cut it.

the solution needs work air apps running on windows desktops or laptops, , needn't descriptive string of model - long piece of data unique specific model or device (or @ least specific manufacturer).

on windows, it's possible query motherboard's serial number wmic, or windows management instrumentation command-line. therefore, can pass command wmic baseboard serialnumber argument cmd.exe using flash.desktop.nativeprocess without need native extension.

since air nativeprocess api being used, must use extended desktop application profile , package application native installer.

package  {     //imports     import flash.display.sprite;     import flash.display.stagescalemode;     import flash.display.stagealign;     import flash.desktop.nativeprocess;     import flash.desktop.nativeprocessstartupinfo;     import flash.events.progressevent;     import flash.filesystem.file;      //class     [swf(width = "600", height = "250", framerate = "60", backgroundcolor = "0x000000")]     public class main extends sprite      {         //constants         private static const motherboard_serialnumber_command:string = "wmic baseboard serialnumber";          //properties         private var nativeprocess:nativeprocess;          //constructor         public function main():void          {             stage.scalemode = stagescalemode.no_scale;             stage.align = stagealign.top_left;              init();         }                 //init         private function init():void         {             if (!nativeprocess.issupported)             {                 throw new error("native process not supported.");             }              var file:file = new file("c:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe");              var args:vector.<string> = new vector.<string>();             args.push("/c");             args.push(motherboard_serialnumber_command);              var nativeprocessstartupinfo:nativeprocessstartupinfo = new nativeprocessstartupinfo();             nativeprocessstartupinfo.executable = file;                      nativeprocessstartupinfo.arguments = args;              nativeprocess = new nativeprocess();              nativeprocess.addeventlistener(progressevent.standard_output_data, outputdataeventhandler);             nativeprocess.addeventlistener(progressevent.standard_error_data, outputerroreventhandler);             nativeprocess.start(nativeprocessstartupinfo);         }          //output data event handler         private function outputdataeventhandler(event:progressevent):void          {              var output:string = nativeprocess.standardoutput.readutfbytes(nativeprocess.standardoutput.bytesavailable);              nativeprocess.exit();              trace(output);         }          //output error event handler         private function outputerroreventhandler(event:progressevent):void         {             nativeprocess.exit();              throw new error(event);         }     } }

alternatively, if retreive motherboard's manufacturer, model number , serial number, can update string constant this:

//constants private static const motherboard_info:string = "wmic baseboard product, manufacturer, serialnumber";

[edit 2]

i learned following wmic command return name, vendor , identifying number of machine. sounds looking for:

//constants private static const csproduct_info:string = "wmic csproduct name, vendor, identifyingnumber"; 

however, keep in mind custom built pcs, such own, command returns nothing. well, not nothing, instead of typical like:

identifyingnumber  name           vendor 99l9891            latitude d610  dell inc. 

my custom build returns this:

identifyingnumber     name                 vendor system serial number  system product name  system manufacturer
